In early 2000, AirPrint Networks set out to create a mobile printer market.  Backed by a supportive board of directors and funded by willing investors, AirPrint converted abandoned technology from the tech giant Polaroid into a product that would launch the company into a steep revenue growth curve.  But the Great Recession of 2007 hit with a vengeance.  The investors pulled out and pulled back.  In one fell swoop, Airprint Networks collapsed.  

Join your hosts, Ziad Moukheiber of Boston Harbor Angels and David Powsner of Nutter McClennen, in a light discussion with Airprint’s founder, Mark Thirman.
