People are People

Larry & I had a great time this evening at the reception/mixer for the kickoff of the Keiretsu Forum's SoCal Angel Expo, and we really enjoyed all the folks we met this evening; we look forward to more conversations at Tuesday's expo.

One thing we keep coming back to is that, no matter what kind of investor or entrepreneur you are, people are people.

Be honest, be passionate about your business and the conversations and the types of discussion all come out the same way. Somewhere in there you find ways to connect.

Whether we get to listen to the pitch and conversations about another startup (and learning new things about our own market conversations) or whether we have an opportunity to speak about what excites us about our new business - people are people, and in the listening and the speaking of a conversation, the truth about what kind of person you are and what kind of people you're having a conversation with, is revealed.

We're very glad to be participating in the upcoming Southern California Angel's Forum and are glad for every conversation that comes from it -because at the end of the day, people are people, and we all learn from each other.
