Hatch Match 2009, sponsored by The Hatchery and Columbia University, as well as a slew of other technology companies took place last Thursday, June 4th at Columbia. My first foray into the venture capital arena produced a few jitters, I must admit, but turned out to be a great experience. No matter what the outcome, pitching your latest brainstorm and its consequences to serious professional investors is a not to be missed opportunity.
Particularly now, when cash is about the least plentiful of resources and the entrepreneurs clamoring for it are the most plentiful, the experience takes on an aura of historical significance. I am so glad I was there!
My “brainstorm” of course was my latest venture, DigiDeco.com, the digital fine art solution from Solutions for the 21st Century (Sol21.com.).
Three cheers for The Hatchery and Columbia and all the other sponsors for giving entrepreneurs this very special opportunity. There will be another next year, in honor of Internet Week, the first week in June. If you have a big idea, get it ready and be there!
