FastPencil in the Silicon Valley Business Journal


Steve and I were captured for this story in the Silicon Valley Business Journal. It was fun to do the photoshoot and talk about FastPencil. The article missed a key point: FastPencil is a FREE service. But overall it's a good glimpse of our business.
