Segment Two- Open Technology Busimess Start Up–
Getting Started: The legal and financial hurdels

We are thrilled tonight to joined tonight by a pair of very
tallented gentlemen; Barry J. Moltz and
Chas Rampenthal, to discus the first basic steps
in setting up an Open Technology business and finding a little
money to get the ball rolling down the development hill.

Barry J. Moltz is an extreamly well known entrprenuer and
investor in the Chicago Business community. He was chosen by
I-Street Magazine as one of the Top 100 People of Chicago’s Hi-Tech
community in 2001 and 2002, Chicago Software Association’s Angel of
the Year in 2001, received Northwestern University’s Contribution
to Entrepreneurship Education Award (CEE) and in February 2004 was
inducted into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame. He
was recently nominated for Fast Company’s “Fast 50”. Moltz
co-founded Prairie Angels (www.prairieangels.org) in 2000, a group
of private investors committed to investing in and mentoring early
stage companies and their entrepreneurs. The move has proven to be
a natural evolution of Barry’s career, providing an avenue for him
to share his “lessons learned” as an entrepreneur and effectively
guide clients through familiar challenges and growing pains.
