First presenters: Task Poets

-asking for $500k
- clients will be ergonomics departments across the world, costing $100 per user
- competition is gnome voice control, and built in control apps with Windows 7 and Apple.
- they want their product certified by US Ergonomics, and they want to work with insurance companies to reduce cost for companies using their product

How big is the workers compensation business, esp. related to hand repetitive motion injuries? Quote indicates damage to other places than hands?

Do you plan on copyrighting your software, and do you have to buy licenses for any part of it?

What about dragon speakeasy?

Second presenters: Class Match

presenter is nervous, and no one up front looks remotely happy or excited.

- trying to raise $440,000
- customers will be the university, or people like SunGard
- competition includes WebCT, Google Groups, and Facebook
- barriers include acceptance by both university and students

what's the difference between a MySQL expert and a database expert?

Isn't it an oxymoron to say "accepted by the students AND the university"?
