Cliff Duffey Named One of The Tech20
The Nashville Business Journal, April 23, 2004

Like Middle Tennessee as a whole, Nashville's technology scene is an entrepreneurial dynamo. It sprouts ideas, attracts capital and creates jobs, in the process becoming an ever-more important piece of the local economic puzzle.

But if there's one recurring theme to conversations about the region's tech sector, it's that there are few people or businesses that stand above the group in a leadership role.

There are few recognizable magnets that draw other people and companies to them to form a strong core that not only grows and creates jobs itself, but also puts a vibrant, recognizable tech face on the region as a whole.

In short, we have no Michael Dell, no Microsoft, no Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Yet. There is tremendous promise in some of Nashville's tech ventures and boatloads of talent in many of their executive offices.
