An Internet expert, Parson s will share lessons she's gleaned from her
career with such companies as at Epinions, Commtouch, Zapzone Network,
and en Commerce. A frequent coach to startup businesses, Parsons will
discuss how early stage companies can stay alive in this challenging

captures so well in her blog Mommy CEO.
Early stage presenter: John MacDougall, MacDougall and Sons Bat
Company
"CRACK!" The classic sound of a base hit off a wood bat. In 2008,
John MacDougall, a custom home builder for 30 years, decided to apply
his architectural knowledge and wood-working skills to the design of
the best wood bat ever, developing patent-protected technology the
Baseball Research Center says yields bats 5-1 0 times more durable
than solid wood bats. The company is in production, has achieved
initial sales, and seeks financing to grow.
