"Repeat after me: 'There is a very limited amount of easy money.'" – Brad Feld
Brad Feld is a Boulder, Colorado-based enterpreneur, investor, and writer. As a student at MIT in 1987, he founded Feld Technologies, a software development firm. Six years later, in 1993, he sold the company for approximately $2 million.

It has launched approximately 4,100 companies with a combined market cap of $124 billion.
One year after launching Techstars, Feld co-founded the VC firm Foundry Group, which has invested in hundreds of technology companies and dozens of venture funds. Foundry currently manages more than $3 billion for its limited partners.
