    Well done Adeo Ressi! Was recently at a Nashville Angel Capital event, it was rather interesting to watch. In our case, Digital Signage Sound.com llc has developed an e-commerce site to help businesses purchase digital signage products easily.

    Wish I had this line ready for the event. We had no aid in funding, but we did help small business after the summer flooding.
