Off topic (OT) thread:

I love this forum for all the generous advice and collaboration. Living near Boston, Massachusetts, I really enjoy the cross-Atlantic aspect as well.

To that end, I hope you will pardon this OT request for assistance. The UK's HM Treasury (Office of the Exchequer) has named my US business partner an "Atlantic Fellow" to assist in comparing and contrasting entrepreneurial enterprise activity in the UK and the US, and recommending specific practices, policies, and programs to foster more enterprise activity in the UK.

The research approach is unique: we seek to identify and interview those rare men and women who have started companies in both countries or have started a company in either the US or UK and have extensive knowledge of the entrepreneurial environment in the other.

If you fit that description or might be able to assist us in identifying prospective interviewees, I would be most grateful if you would contact me by email with "UK enterprise study" in the subject line.

Many thanks,

Dave Lash
