Please note the March for Innovation event discussed in the article below already took place. We wanted to share this great article by Jeffrey Bussgang, a general partner at Flybridge Capital, originally published in Mashable, in support of immigration reform and to keep the issue top of mind.

Recently, I testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce on the topic of immigration reform. I am a former entrepreneur turned venture capitalist at Flybridge Capital Partners and also teach entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School. Like many others, I am struck by how our current broken immigration system is affecting our nation’s ability to compete on the global stage.

In my testimony, I called for the senators to support the legislation introduced by the Gang of Eight. I hope you will join me in this call to action and demand comprehensive immigration reform by going to MarchForInnovation.com. You can send a note to your senators to ask them to work together to find commonsense solutions for our immigration problems. Taking action will take only seconds of your time.

It’s that time of year again! No, not the end of the academic semester, finals week, or even spring. It’s the time of year when every student, professor, or adult is asking college students, “So, what are you doing this summer?” Lately, my answer has been the dreaded: “I’m waiting to hear back about internships.” But the more I think about this question (and my answer), the more I realize the importance of a good summer internship. Any employer can rattle off the good qualities of an intern, but if you ask a student what the qualities of a good internship are, things get a little bit fuzzier.

Recently I got into a debate about the things people should and shouldn't do on company blogs. Some company blogs have multiple contributors from within the organization, while others have a dedicated blogger (or at least that's what they'd have you believe - ah, ghost writers).
