I enjoy speaking with and learning from leaders of innovative companies. My interview last week of Paul Pluschkell, CEO of Pleasanton, CA innovation platform Spigit was extrememly enlightening. I learned how far Spigit has taken the concept of crowd sourcing to foster innovation and solve problems within the private and public sector. I queried Paul on a number of subjects, some of the highlights included:

• Advice to new Entrepreneurs


• Employment opportunities


• Operating a startup in the Tri-Valley Area


• Gov 2.0 and Spigit


• The companies growth and financials
