Posted: May 5th, 2009 | Author: vinnie | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »
Besides it being Cinco de Mayo today (I’ll bring some Mexican beers), we have another theme going tonight – alternate ways for you to make money (as an individual or a company).
News from April:
- The April SVNewTech meetup was featured in the NY Times – you might even have your picture in the Times.
- Bill Hunt of whuntpartners.com gave the Best Damn Fundraising Advice I’ve ever seen.
