The blog format for this class allows me to create simple discussion areas that you can use to make comments. I moderate the comments, so you can also use these areas for sending me a message, and if you don’t want anyone else to see it, say so in the message — you send it as a comment below the post — and I won’t let it go up as a public comment.

And feel free to suggest additional discussion areas:

• The venture quest undergraduate business plan competition. This might mean help with ideas and setting up groups. Post an idea as a comment. You can use this to invite others to join you in a group to compete for the venture contest prize.
• About this class
• Business ideas. Would you like some feedback? Post a comment.
• Questions about course content, like business planning, starting a business, assignments, readings, your business plan, etc. Feel free. Others may be asking the same questions.
• Good examples: companies, particularly new startup companies, that seem like winners and losers, good companies, startups, failure, etc. Particularly companies in Eugene or nearby.
• Resources: if you come upon a website that seems relevant, suggest it here please.
