Winners of Washington Business Journal Venture Capital Awards 2010

I guess should start with gratitude for being named the "Friend of the Entrepreneur" to the Washington Business Journal reporters and event sponsors, Argy, Wiltse & Robinson, Cooley Godward and Nasdaq.   I am truly grateful for the recognition.

Jonathan Aberman of Amplifier Ventures, John Backus of New Atlantic were my co-nominees and by any measure deserving of the award.   It was a nice evening.   The Washington, DC area is home to a thriving community of start ups, entrepreneurs, service providers, and investors.  It was wonderful to see some of the companies and individuals have achievements called out in a small setting.
