Start-ups are hard-work, not just for the VCs but especially for the entrepreneurs running the companies 24x7. They work hard, sacrifice, find innovative solutions, etc. etc... whatever it takes to come up with differentiated products and convince skeptical customers to buy from a new supplier.

If they do a good job people recognize this and they win customers, make money... even win awards.

One of Narra Venture Capital's investments is Astute Networks and they sell high-performance, lowest-power ATCA bladed edge storage solutions. They just made the finalist list of TechAmerica's Best High Tech Product Awards. We are proud to be associated with a good group of entrepreneurs such as those that run Astute Networks.
