We have begun a monthly report on issues relating to Washinton and the tech industry. Our vision: We aim to bring Washington, DC to Silicon Valley. The large Valley firms have K St. lobbyists, lawyers, and public relations professionals. The small and mid-size start-ups and entrepreneurs have nobody. We try to fill that gap. This monthly newsletter has “news you can use” that may be important to the IT start-up sector. You may not have the resources to track it, but Washington is too important to ignore.
