Super article along with some great questions. I look forward to reading the second part. Greg is the type of person you want in your corner when getting your business up and running.

Great interview – looking forward to the next part, about which companies are most investable in the current economic downturn. I'm guessing Real Estate and Autos aren't going to be on the list, but expect low-cost Internet based startups to feature highly. Great reading.
