Scott Murphy Won!

We are so delighted that a venture capitalist has made his way to Congress. Way to go Scott! It really seemed improbable, but Scott and his team showed the value of having a guy who understands markets is what we need in an economic crisis. Though we are sad to lose Scott as one of our investors, we can't be happier that he has found this new opportunity.


Congratulations Scott!
