Not that Hall is giving up on entrepreneurship, or its elixir of hope, hype, and huge profits. Entries to the contest, sponsored by Global Strategy, must be no more than 1,000 words, and include the name of two people who can verify your non-fiction story. They use Zatso pens, Zatso mouse pads, Zatso note pads. Bang's founders bought Zatso's stuff from liquidators. The Zatso logo is still over the reception area.
Zatso artwork graces the walls throughout the office.
Even the Zatso flag still hangs on the street. One day, Bang may toss the Zatso mouse pads for ones with its own logo. Living in Zatso's ashes is a daily reminder of what can happen to start-ups like Bang, which opted not to spend a lot on fancy offices or purchase a foosball table. Bang held its launch party for relatives only at a local bar. So long for now.
