Welcome to the Kentucky Startup blog

May 5, 2008

This is the first post for the KY startup blog.  What I hope to accomplish is to be the place to go for information about the startup environment and startup companies within the bluegrass state.  I plan to highlight news and events relevant to KY startups, profiles of interesting startups from around the state and articles and ideas of interest to those with an entrepreneurial passion.  I invite you to check back often or subscribe to my feed and to please comment and share your point of view.
