I am ashamed to admit that it has been over 6 weeks since I last posted on TheCreativeConnector.com. I promise you this is about to change.

As many of you already know, I moved to New York City last month to begin the MBA program at Columbia Business School. Now that I am settled into the Big Apple, I am going to begin writing again on a regular basis.

My focus will still remain the same as before…Connecting Ideas in Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital. What does this mean? Quite simply, I will be writing about innovative strategies that I believe are important to entrepreneurs. Such topics could include attracting venture capital funding, developing marketing plans, or even creating strategic partnerships.

I would like to emphasize that I am always open to receiving emails from readers. If you have a good idea and you think it should be discussed on this blog, let me know. I am also open to hosting guest bloggers. If you have experience and knowledge in a certain subject and you would like to write about it, just email me. My email address is david [at] isserman.com.

I hope that you will continue to join me on this journey. If you have not already done so, go ahead and subscribe through RSS or by email (on the upper left side of this page). If you don’t like what I write, you can always opt-out in the future.
