Congratultions on signing up for FastTrac TechVenture. I've worked with the Kauffman Foundation for nearly ten years and have seen many entrepreneurs start and/or grow successful business through FastTrac's practical, interactive, peer environment. Keep us informed on your FastTrac "journey" via your blog.
