DESCRIPTION:Peter Magnusson\, Founder and CEO of Virtutech\, Sweden\nWith 
 a downturn becoming a recession trending to a depression\, starting a new 
 company might seem a little foolhardy.  But history mildly indicates the c
 ontrary - downturns are good opportunities for new companies. Few (if any)
  new competitors are started\, the weak ones lose access to capital\, larg
 e companies are focusing on core business\, and any new organization is fo
 stered with good habits. The speaker is a serial entrepreneur (if "2" cons
 titutes "serial")\, here to argue for taking risk\, in an irreverent way\,
  and along the way communicate some of what he's learned in ten years of p
 itching ideas and raising money and selling software in the US.  And with 
 "irreverent"\, he means "some of you *will* be offended.  You have been wa
 rned.  As Bo Derek would say - "Whoever said money can't buy happiness sim
 ply didn't know where to go shopping."\n\nP. Magnusson's homepage
