You might wonder why I haven't been blogging in a while. Don't worry, I'm not in jail. I'm just practicing what I preach: being part of the solution instead of the problem, working instead of merely complaining.
My start-up has been doing well. It's now 2 and a half years old, and we've had successful biotech summits that promote entrepreneurship and investment in Philippine technology. We also have 12 clients on our roster who we are brokering equity investments for.
As part of our advocacy for technology and innovation based entrepreneurship, and in partnership with other local VCs and MIT MBA students and alums, the PESO business plan competition is entering its second year. PESO distinguishes itself from the rest of the pack by providing post-competition support for its winners. Our goal is new start-ups, not PR.
Today, I'm blogging from Technonegosyo, where I had the great joy of seeing my clients, scientists with great products, finally got the respect and even adulation that they deserved. It was one of the best days in my entrepreneurial career. Not because I made a remarkable amount of money, but because my clients succeeded.
Nothing can compare to the feeling that you've enabled another Filipino to succeed.
Good on you, cs! And good to see you blogging again.

Hi PG and Sassy! No I didn't leave the internet for good. Real life just got in the way. :)
