Why did you go to law school?

Roger Glovsky — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 01:05:06 -0400

I saw this video on Jason Mendelson's blog today. Although there are those of us lawyers who still believe in the ideals that motivate students to become lawyers, this is one of the funniest commentaries I have ever heard.

Take this Quiz and I'll Buy You a Beer*

Henry Grossman — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:37:49 -0400

Roger Glovsky, John Koenig, and I have developed a new service product called the "Information Security Advisor." (See http://www.indigoventure.com/solutions/isadvisor.html.) This product helps an organization set up and run a written information security program (WISP), as required by the Massachusetts regulations (201 CMR 17) that went into effect a few months ago.

As a way to connect with prospective clients, we've put together a 5-question quiz. I'd like you to take the quiz and tell me what you think.

Power of Referrals

JohnLKoenig — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 09:48:05 -0400

One academician finds that people are more likely to make a good decision if they consult others for advice, rather than basing the decision on just their own research. This supports the notion that the better clients are the ones who come by way of referral. So get out there and work those referral sources. See: http://harvardmagazine.com/2010/03/pleasure-by-proxy

Preparing to Wind Down a Business: What information do you need?

Roger Glovsky — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:23:45 -0500

We just posted Part 3 of the series on winding down a business. Although the concept of winding down a business is a pessimistic proposition, it is often a necessary action. This week's blog provides a good checklist of information for approaching the wind down process. You can find it at: http://www.askthevc.com/blog/archives/2009/11/preparing-to-wi.php.
