The May Report: 7/24/2011: While the folks at TechWeek are dreaming of VC funding and huge growth rates, I’ve been dreaming of Hermione Way, a beautiful woman from California who sat on my lap Friday night at the SideBar and at the English Pub parties; What will I remember three years from now? Well, I recall Gary the wine guy from three years ago so I’ll probably remember Penelope Trunk and I will go to the berry shop to lambaste the owner for what he did to the guy who spoke at Entrepreneurs Unpluggd; Gov. Quinn to sign a bill at TechWeek tomorrow allowing TDA II to increase from 1% to 2% the amount of the state’s investment portfolio allowed to be invested in the technology-focused private equity and venture capital fund and here’s something we don’t need: more innovation centers all over the state — will they be more effective than the ITECs were?
