Last night I attended for the third time startFEST, an “after work” social gathering geared towards putting together startup companies and members from the investment community. Their promotional flyer describes the event as:

“A social gathering with an aim to create relationships among growth-oriented entrepreneurs, innovative companies, and members from the investment community. StartPATH is a virtual incubator and social network helping entrepreneurs transform concepts into successful companies.”

In my opinion it’s a great event in which other fellow entrepreneurs can see up-and-coming businesses. I love coming to these events to be around people who are “carving their own path” and doing it their way. Having the drive, ambition, and emotional capacity to start your own company isn’t something everyone can do. Everyone is unique with their stories of being motivated and trying to make it all happen.

Check out quick video blog I put together (below). I just started experimenting with YouTube and it’s new annotation feature — which makes commenting over my video pretty cool!
