Perot Systems, the company founded by sometime presidential candidate Ross Perot, is in the news this week due to its acquisition by Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL). But last week, it was the entrepreneur himself that being talked about, as The Deal asked Stuart Ellman and Jim Robinson, co-founders of RRE Ventures, to name the entrepreneurs they admire most.
We chatted with Ellman and Robinson at Shake Shack II, a party for 300 held September 15 at an outdoor burger stand favored by the New York tech crowd. The casual gathering hosted by nextNY, a group for up-and-comers in the tech and new-media fields, offered precious opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to rub elbows -- and make deals. We were there, videotaping our conversations with dozens of the digerati. For more on the event, see Shake Shack II: Hip mixer for founders, investors and Shake Shack II tech shindig in pictures.
