Stamford Innovation Center gets rolling

Kudos to the new Stamford Innovation Center located in the renovated Stamford Old Town Hall. 

In a short time, the center has become an incubator for new business start-ups with the backing of Sikorsky Aircraft, the helicopter maker and defense contractor located in Stratford, CT. 

Peter Propp, VP of Marketing has been instrumental in organizing networking (including Tuesday night hacker space) events that cover all pertinent topics that are 'hot' issues in the world of  information technology. 

Back in January, Peter led a lively discussion with Skyler Fernandez, a local venture capitalist, on how he goes about researching, funding and then counseling start-ups in which he invests. 

Today, Peter and Jonathan Yarmis held a You Tube stay at home dialogue (due to the inclement weather) that covered in depth such topics as Yahoo's work-at-home policy, the new Facebook feed and the importance of such apps as Zemanter in composing blogs and Evernote for remembering people and events.
