Top Ten for the week of 11/09/2009
This week was relatively slow with 24 fewer moves than our previous post. I suspect that the number will continue to drop as we approach the Holiday Season. Last week, I commented on how many ex-Oracle CEOs there are in the Software / SaaS space. This week we see something similar with EA and the games industry. I added two ex-EA executives as CEOs this week to game startups NeoEdge (Lesley Mansford) and Playdom (John Pleasants). Playdom was also in the news this week because they secured $43M in funding.
We will be adding more videos to our website this week to highlight different features of TechnamesDB. We are also actively working to build up our subscriber base. If you are interested in seeing a live demo, please contact us at sales@technames.com
