As usual, we had a number of quality presentations and business ideas, but only 6 slots. For those who did not make the final list this time, I present 3 SVASE-related options:

• E-mail me, Chad Salinas, if you would like me to put you into the priority queue for the next event.
• SVASE offers a number of workshops detailing how to prepare presentations. In addition to expert advice, you will also meet other members of the SVASE team and familiarize yourself with some of the heuristics of raising money.
• Attend the First Impressions event as an observer to get a feel for the quality of presentations and business ideas.

Thanks to everyone who participated.
