Exhausted after conference at the bleating New York Athletic Club, a place that gives wood panelling a bad name. Combined with the thing in New Haven last weekend, I've probably spoken to 60 people I've never seen before in my life in the last 5 days, engaged in a wide variety of businesses, such as:
- Outsourcing refunds of student grants for universities via checking accounts at new bank: currently has 90,000 account holders. Principals aged 24-26.
- Marketing consultant to beverage makers
- Wacky concocter of absurdist business puzzles / Best-selling author (Barry Nalebuff)
- A guy who's considering buying all the cable companies in Ukraine
- Fund of funds that incubates Canadian hedge funds
- Wholesale grower of fine plants (for Lowe's)
- Two companies pitching recovery of class action claims to hedge funds
- Poverty eradication in 3rd world countries via free trade
- Outsourcing of investment research
- Guy proposing dialogue site between people in red states and blue states; using broadband, video conferencing, multimedia portraits, and James
Fishkin's methods of deliberative polling. (no payment received for shameless plug) - Executive search consultant, currently seeking Salesperson for French tech company with Ukrainian app devt team
- Plain-old hedge funds, including retail broker lunkheads who started one because customers asked them to.
