Recently I had the pleasure of moderating a panel of startup founders discussing the current state of entrepreneurship during Salesforce’s Small Business Basecamp event in Atlanta. And while the focus of the conversation was on entrepreneurship in Atlanta, the shared themes, experiences and advice offered up is great for anyone with an entrepreneurial dream regardless of where they live.

The panel included:

• Rob Forman, cofounder and Head of Technology of Salesloft

• Miguel Lloyd, founder of Lloyd Media Group

• Brooks Robinson, cofounder and CEO of Springbot
