"Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda

by Elizabeth Stotler, Marketing Director

Is anyone else wondering: How can it be June already? We have been busier than ever here, having hosted three industry roundtables, our Spring Sales & Marketing Roundtable, and gearing up for our 5th annual CEO Summit to be held at West Point. This year we're not only challenging our CEOs mentally, but also physically...with two consecutive mornings of Military-style PT Bootcamp starting at 6:30AM.

We also already have six investments in the ground for Edison VIII -- our largest fund yet, which will officially close this month. As our most trusted and qualified referral sources, we certainly welcome and appreciate your introductions to interesting investment candidates.

On the culture front, we have been settling into our new home at 281 Witherspoon quite nicely. We've added three new Associates to our team: Doba Parushev and Jennifer Lee who join our business development team, and Jon Reynolds who adds Financial Planning & Analysis to the Edison Edge platform. 

NEW_HIRES_MAY2016.pngOn top of all that, we published our second annual Sales & Marketing Performance Index, and will be producing our first Finance Index later this year. Thanks again to participating portfolio companies.

So far, Edison's 30th year is off to a great start and we are thrilled that you continue to be a part of it.
