Brad Feld RSS Feed: Making Email Connections at an Early Age

[David Sandusky]

My RSS Feed is a Thinker and Has Just Posted the Following:

I spend plenty of time making connections between people.  Email has certainly made this a lot easier.  One of my best friends - Warren Katz (the founder / CEO of Mak Technologies) recently send me some prehistoric emails that he had saved from me demonstrating that even when I was in my mid 20's, I was using email to connect people.  Note the Compuserve email address - can you remember your Compuserve (or Source) address?  And yes - the Compuserve address bounces now.

Warren,
I sent a letter to a company in Denton, TX called Scott Instruments and suggested they give you a call. This is a company that was co-founded by my first "business mentor" -- a guy named Gene Scott. They are a voice recognition company that is based on technology developed by Gene's son Brian (Brian is VP of R&D). They are a small company (20 or so people) that are primarily in the technology development and licensing business. They have deals with a number of companies, including Silicon Graphics.
I met with them last week when I was in Dallas. Their current CEO is a guy named Marvin Preston who also has his own business working with developing technology companies (Scott Instruments is his current client). He's a super neat guy, and lives in Princeton, NJ (and has a daughter at MIT). I thought you might benefit by being hooked up with these guys in some way. When I mentioned virtual reality, everyone's eyes lit up. I'll send over a copy of their marketing stuff for you.
