Pile on the praze for Zebras! Not the wild ones eluding hunters in Africa, but the enterprising business startups that gathered this week in Portland, Oregon. It seems that the magically successful tech companies like Facebook and Uber are known in the business world as Unicorns. All the venture capitalists want to invest in the next Unicorn. But the more realistic, fixer companies are known as Zebras and they are having a little more trouble attracting investors. Since a gathering of Zebras is called a Dazzle, these enterprising businesses held a Dazzlecon this week to look for ways to make these community minded companies, often founded by women and minorities, more Dazzling to magic-minded investors. Now that's a story of a different stripe!
