Brewed Fresh Daily

James Cookingham, the predigeous NEOSA emailer, sent another dandy around. I wonder how the other companies who applied to go on the FIRST Say Yes! trip feel about the GREAT emphasis. There were 40 other companies that didn't make the cut. I've talked to a couple of them, and they thought the application process the first time was a bunch of bull. I wonder how many of them will go through the second round?

Entrepreneurs must submit a brief summary of their businesses to the software association Neosa, which is helping to organize the event. Neosa president Jim Cookinham said the summaries will be reviewed and entrepreneurs with the best businesses will be asked to give oral presentations to a panel of local business leaders. The top five then will be invited to Chicago.

While the selection process is different this time around, I'd be willing to bet the outcome will be similar. Update: Not only is James Cookingham stumping for Say Yes!, Jennifer Thomas is too. I wonder how many more time I'll have to read about it.
