Yates Perspective – Vol. I August 26th, 2010MMM Tech Perspectives The goal of the MMM Tech Law & Business Report is to inform, educate and socialize important business and legal issues directly relevant to our target audience — entrepreneurs, investors and strategic partners. For over three decades the MMM Corporate Technology Group has delivered value added legal services and information to hundreds of clients in our tech ecosystem. www.www.mmmtechlaw.com now organizes, summarizes and provides practical pointers relating to legal and business issues impacting entrepreneurs and growing technology and business services companies. In my column, Yates Perspectives, I’ll give my thoughts on current issues of direct relevance to entrepreneurs. This Report also includes featured MMM clients as well as commentary and practical pointers relating to recent venture deals, IPOs and M&A transactions. We’re interested in your feedback on issues and topics you’d like to see included on the site. And, if you have content you’d like to have considered for inclusion, please forward it to us.
