There are certain days in the life of a startup technology company that you remember.  For me, yesterday was one such day. 

I walked into a meeting and someone handed me data.  Looking at the one page of tables and graphs it occurred to me that this was the first real data that Novita Therapeutics had produced.  When I got back to my office I opened my desk drawer, pulled a strip of tape, put the paper up on the side of my file cabinet, sat back and smiled. 

It felt like a door opening.
