New Cap Partners’ Thomas Turney Talks about Important Issues to Economic Growth! Podcast #2
June 29, 2012 |

While we are standing in this wobbly middle ground — watching the global markets shift as well as that of the nation, it’s often hard to realize what’s really important to know what are the critical or tipping point issues. As seen in part one, it’s often best to talk to someone who has a truly “global” view of the business landscape. One such person happens to be Thomas Turney, managing principal in NewCap Partners.

Comments ClosedThe Intersection of Technology, Start-ups, the Economy & Education According to New Cap’s Thomas Turney. Podcast #1
This post is a re-post from Defevere.com. Gray Defevere introduced me to one of the Directors of the So Cal Tech Group who is very much into the “start-up” space– particularly since he is the managing partner of a private bank. The interesting part here is that when one is active in that part of the state — and even national or global– economy, you get an entirely different view at that altitude. Hence why Gray DeFevere (and several of his colleagues and friends) will show up on this blog. New Cap’s Thomas Turney Focuses on Innovation & Technology as Economic Drivers for California & US!

“School for Start-Ups”: Gray DeFevere Breaks It Down on How to Succeed!

Considering I talk to a lot of start-ups for podcasts and “off the record” on how to use social media to gain momentum and visibility, I get asked this question often. I wanted to see what the general consensus would be — and if I didn’t get enough answers, I was going to reformulate that question and put it out there again. Turns out I didn’t have to do that!
