Competitor files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
Bloomberg posted an article on my birthday annoucing that NetVersant (one of the competitors in my employers space) filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.
Obviously they’re not out for the count, but in this tightening market and continuing recession, this is an opportunity for all of NetVersant’s competitors. To the best of my knowledge, this is the [...]
Goal for August, Final Update, and Goal for September/October
My Goal for August is complete.
