  "'Big-ticket enterprise ideas that take $50 million to $100 million to get to market are going to be few and far between,' said Dana Stalder, a general partner at Matrix Partners." Is it just me, or did they mislabel the section "Enterprise is Back"?

  "Cisco was founded two weeks before a stock market crash. Oracle was founded during the Reagan recession," Mr. Holland said. "In bad times, that's when the best opportunities come up."
