We have landed a big green dinosaur for our May 30th speaker.
Joe Colopy is the co-founder of Bronto Software.
Joe and his cofounder put $10,000 of their own money to start Bronto.
They had offers to bring in investor capital but chose to retain the equity.
13 years later, they sold Bronto for $200 million to NetSuite which was then acquired by Oracle.
Joe has now become an angel investor and also started a new company.

Joe is also the founder of tech startup newsletter GrepBeat.com which has been nice enough to announce some of our events with NEW, 1 Million Cups RTP and Bunker Labs.
