Thoroughly enjoyed #Grep-A-Palooza 3! GrepBeat did another tremendous job. I always love being on a panel with my friends Jason Caplain and Lister Delgado, especially when Hunter Young can keep us in-line and on-topic! Here were some quick thoughts on the event, the community, and my outlook on the next 12-18 months in venture funding. Thanks Chuck Hester and WRAL TechWire for broadcasting. https://lnkd.in/eDF3vACX

Thanks to Sarah Dorothy Lynch and Inc. Magazine for their story recapturing the journey EcoMap Technologies, Inc. has been on over the past 12 months. I relived every emotion while reading it, from the sadness and anger surrounding the tragic death of the great Pava LaPere, to the pride that came from the resilience of the entire team under the leadership of Sherrod Davis. Pava's vision and passion are still strong within this team! https://lnkd.in/e6KxHBPP
