Great meeting with Umass Business Students

Brian Zimmerman

March 27, 2010

We just concluded a great session with some students from Umass Amherst visiting Boston.

I was very impressed with many of the questions and topics we discussed.

We spoke about Openview Venture Partners and what type of companies we make venture capital investments in. We spoke about what makes expansion stage companies successful as well.

The most rewarding discussions were with some of our younger team members and the insights that they gave to the students on how they came to Openview and what they do. Many of the questions were related to our sales and marketing support.

I hope they found it as rewarding as we did.

I also encouraged them to become guest bloggers for our firm.
