    startup_lounge_logo_small.gifFor a great intimate conversation with Mitch Free, CEO of MFG.com, check out the latest installment of the StartupLounge.com podcast. I honestly think that content-wise this has been one of our stronger shows.

    Mitch shares some very candid views on a variety of topics ranging from what its like to work with Jeff Bezos to what his view of the early-stage venture market is here in Atlanta.

    This is a must-hear podcast if you are an early stage entrepreneur.

    So how does a guy go from running up his credit cards and cashing in the 401K to growing through acquisition in Europe, expanding heavily into China and processing over $4.5B in transactions in just a few short years? Join us for a very intimate conversation with Mitch Free, the founder and CEO of MFG.com, one of the world’s largest online marketplaces within the manufacturing space.

    As an added bonus, hear Mitch’s view on where the Atlanta early-stage venture market is, what it is like to work with Jeff Bezos and the Samwer brothers, and what is next for MFG.com. We also discuss the subject of several outside venture funds taking a closer look at the Atlanta market.

    Cheers.
