The Flipside, Another Way to Look at an Issue
I run into lots of entrepreneurs who go out of their way to keep their idea or technology secret. They search me out, want to get my opinion or advice, and start out by asking for an NDA.

Now I am not crazy enough to imply that I have all the answers, but all the answers are out there and my goal is to bridge the gap between needs and help.
