It was great to see them digging deep, competing against the clock to build a team and a company, and competing for the event prize. All teams were winners in the end, and we hope many of them will go on to become successful companies. ...PeterF (OCRI Entrepreneur's Edge - www.ocri.ca/e2 ) Being there as one of the coaches was an honour, as the TON team had brought together a terrific group of high energy, smart entrepreneurs.

Loved following the tweets, great tension built for the decision time was palpable even on twttr, nicely done. Slight aside - was wondering if any of the Cambrian team could share the origins of the name selection, haven't seen that name since the booming telco 2000's. Good luck to all the participants on the next steps of the journey. Rick – have heard great things from the participants.

And, most of all, we become much too passive. We overlook just how large a role we all play -- and by "we" I mean society -- in determining who makes it and who doesn't.
