I have been meeting a lot of new entrepreneurs in the Valley lately and its great to have new people doing cool things. But over at Web 2.0 Expo this past week me and my friend ran into an entrepreneur new to the valley who started to tell us his story. He is from New York and arrived with only 5000 to his name in order to start or join a startup of his interest.

Many want-to-be actors end up doing the same thing and flying out to Hollywood in hopes of meeting a celebrity or big producer that will help them make it big in the film business out down by LA. Unfortunately, most of them fail and end up becoming porn-stars in the San Fernando Valley as the popular myth says. I wonder what will end up happening to all the failed entrepreneurs of this 7 year batch.

I would like to encourage new entrepreneurs to introduce themselves and hopefully make a new connection with me here in the Valley.
