Quotable Quotes

Pitch 2009 is a unique startup competition open to early-stage ventures globally. Eligible startups are in alpha or beta stage, and must have at least one female founder. Deadline to apply: April 10th, 2009.

 "A recession is the best time to start a company.
  The opportunity cost is low, hiring good people
  is relatively easy, rent and equipment are cheap
  (sometimes free) and established competitors are
  focused on reducing costs and staying in
  business, not on innovation. The key is being in
  a good position when the economy picks up."

  - Rebecca Lynn
    Partner, Morgenthaler Ventures

 "Some of the best products and services come
  out of some of the worst times. In the early 90s,
  tens of millions of dollars had gone down the
  drain in a futile effort to develop 'pen computing'
  (early phase of mobile computing) and a
  recession was shriveling the economic outlook."

  - Chris Shipley
    Chairman, Guidewire Group
