In the spirit of http://www.lunch20.com, Lunch 2.0 is a lunch series hosted at Knoxville Overground that showcases one of the region’s hottest startups (typically having raised more than $100K) or an up-and-coming entrepreneur you can’t afford not to watch.

Will Overstreet of VoicesHeard Media, Eric Dobson of TrakLok Corporation, and Jeremy Smith of EyeHearU.com are previous guests that address five key points:

1. How they identified their market opportunity.
2. How much in funding they’ve raised or personally invested to date.
3. What their biggest challenges are.
4. Advice on sending e-mails to them with proposals to work together or for them as an employee.
5. Book recommendations and parting wisdom.

The interviews are under 10 minutes and the information is invaluable. Check it out at http://knoxvilleoverground.podbean.com and be sure to subscribe in iTunes.

Knoxville Overground got some more good press today. We are really excited about the diversity of KO members and how receptive the entrepreneurial community has been.

Here is the video. Sorry, but you have to suffer through a brief commercial first so that Channel 10 won’t go BK.

A timely article from Business Week.
