It was about ten years ago I presented my first Internet company, Telezoo at MAVA and received my first cool $3 mil funding. I didn’t even know how to carry that much money from MAVA to my bank Damn! It feels like it was just yesterday.

It’s that time of the year again.

MAVA (Mid-Atlantic Venture Association) on announced the 40 early- and expansion-stage technology companies that have been selected to present at the organization’s Capital Connection ’10 event, scheduled for May 19-20 in Baltimore.
