		<title>Last One Off the Clue Train is a Rotten Peach!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Urvaksh over at the Atlanta Business Chronicle recently published an article providing some coverage of the new $250M fund being launched by the State of Florida.  After reading it, I became engulfed in a sea of emotions, ranging from frustration to anger, finally settling on a mix of sadness and reflection.
The only thing that can [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Dozen Ways to get Rejected from CapitalLounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We get a TON of applications every time we put together a CapitalLounge event. While most of the applications have some degree of merit, and eventually get accepted, there are many that don&#8217;t.  Historically, we have a non-invitation rate of anywhere from 20-30%.   Despite the enormous level of detail that we&#8217;ve published as to our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Captain Anonymous and His View of Atlanta&#8217;s Startup Scene</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been getting some blog comments and Skribit &#8220;suggestions&#8221; from an anonymous visitor.  Let&#8217;s just say the comments haven&#8217;t been terribly &#8220;engaging&#8221; - some of them have actually been quite nasty. And look, I&#8217;ll be the first to admit this - I cuss like a sailor (well, a former soldier), and believe me, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>June Startup Events in Atlanta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[June is going to be a busy time in Atlanta for startups.   Here is a quick roundup of a few events that are worth taking a look at:
CapitalLounge
Being a co-founder of StartupLounge, I&#8217;m naturally biased.  But hey, at least I&#8217;m being honest about it. :)  Our next CapitalLounge gathering is coming up next week, Wednesday, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Quick Look at StarPound CORE v1.2 GA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t exactly been the most prolific blogger as of late.  As some of you know from talking with me (or reading my tweets), we&#8217;ve been really heads down and focused over at StarPound these days - working very diligently on something - actually many things.  But one of them is the latest release of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Military Lessons Applied to Startups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jason Jones of CresaPartners, who hosts a podcast called &#8220;Battlefield to Business&#8221; for Business-to-Business Magazine.  If you don&#8217;t know Jason, he&#8217;s a great guy, and a former naval aviator who served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise.
&#8220;With a small unit, like a startup, [...]]]></description>

		<title>CapitalLounge Wrap Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m finally beginning to recover from last night&#8217;s CapitalLounge event, which was awesome.  Great turnout, and based upon my very informal survey of people as they were leaving at the end of the night, there were lots of facilitated connections. Thanks to everyone for coming and hanging out with us.
Urvaksh did a cool writeup on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wifi Cat: The Backstory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is my account of the Wifi Cat ruse we pulled off last week at Startup Riot 2009 in Atlanta.  This is from memory, so the timeline may be a bit off here or there - but it will give you the gist.
If you are an entrepreneur, and you aren&#8217;t plugged into the Twitterverse [...]]]></description>

		<title>Special Startup Gauntlet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ll be holding a special edition of Startup Gauntlet just before our CapitalLounge event this Wednesday.  Space is limited to 12 startups and is first come, first serve. The focus on this edition of Startup Gauntlet will not be the usual 5 minute fast pitch with some slides.  This will be the &#8220;elevator pitch&#8221;.
