I just finished two days of seminars about "Technology Entrepreneurship" at the Jones School at Rice. It was organized by Rice Alliance. I learned:

• I have a lot of thinking to do
• I'm further along than I thought
• I have a lot of networking to do
• I need to find some smart people to surround myself with

I met some interesting people, and gained some insights into the whole start-up / venture capital world. While I'm not anywhere close to needing funding, at least I know what steps I need to take and have some ideas on where to turn when I do get there...
