With a downturn becoming a recession trending to a depression, starting a new company might seem a little foolhardy. But history mildly indicates the contrary - downturns are good opportunities for new companies. Few (if any) new competitors are started, the weak ones lose access to capital, large companies are focusing on core business, and any new organization is fostered with good habits. The speaker is a serial entrepreneur (if "2" constitutes "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 pitching ideas and raising money and selling software in the US. And with "irreverent", he means "some of you *will* be offended. You have been warned. As Bo Derek would say - "Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping."
