Time to Start a Business
Thursday, May 14th, 2009Having been laid off recently, I’ve been going to even more meetings of professional associations than usual. There is a lot happening and it is very uplifting. An MIT Enterprise Forum meeting had a panel of experts on energy storage (fuel cells, batteries); another sponsored by MassHighTech was about clean tech; a WPI Venture Forum meeting toured the incubator (MBI) for bio-tech and med-tech companies.
I’ve concluded two things:
1. There is a lot of cool stuff going on and it makes more sense to go where the employed are creating than to job fairs.
2. It’s a good time to start a company. In fact, many of the best companies have been started during times like these.
Care to ask me why I think this??
