It's a hot topic now. With one of our groups we are in
negotiations with a venture capital (VC) group that approached
us. They looked at 100 design firms and narrowed it down to
three. They are a mutual fund with money to invest.
BTW, Mindspring did a great job aggregating and becoming a
national firm rather than the Southeast where they were. But not
without headaches of merging different systems together.
