With the economy in shambles, people scared for their jobs, and layoffs to the left and right, I was struck by a story that Scott Painter (currently CEO of Zag and TrueCar, and prior CEO of CarsDirect) made in a recent private gathering I was at of venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and service providers.

We spoke with Jose daVeiga , the firm's CEO and co-founder, to learn more about the company.
What's started as a tester, but in six months, I had risen to assistant project manager at CarsDirect. We started this as a business in 2006, so it could become what it is today, a brand and company of its own.
We Los Angeles-based KlickSports (www.klicksports.com) recently rolled out the firm's live sports prediction web site and game, looking to harness the enthusiasm of sports fans for their favorite sports and teams. What's the idea behind Klicksports?
