Description
Pioneers from eight Government Professional Services firms which were formed at the start of the industry discuss the formation and early years of the companies. The topics covered are who the founders were, their original impetus for starting the company, the source of initial and follow-on financing, and initial markets and technical objectives. The discussion covers the initial market positions that the companies were aiming for and how this was influenced by the presence of the other companies. This session covered five of the eight companies with the remainder covered in Session #2.
