The Washington Post reports that the Northern Virginia Technology Council this week will present awards to regional "navigators," nominated for their "commitment to entrepreneurship."
Steve Meltzer, a Pillsbury corporate & securities partner in Northern Virginia, is among the three finalists. The story reports that entrepreneurship has been a large component of Meltzer's life, even before law school. In addition to legal work, he helped start the FastTrac program, a course for entrepreneurs, in Northern Virginia, and participated in creating different investor groups.
The Post asked Meltzer about the biggest mistake he has seen entrepreneurs make. "All too often you see an entrepreneur who builds a business himself and has no board; and in my view that person, talented though he or she may be, is missing a tremendous resource," Meltzer said.
