I was able to catch a few minutes of the Patent Office’s 15th Annual Independent Inventors Conference web cast.  The speaker was from the Kaufman Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering and promoting entrepreneurship in the United States.  If you are not familiar with these folks, their website is perhaps worth checking out.  See www.kaufman.org. While you are at it check out their affiliate site entrepreneurship.org.  Hopefully, you find these sites useful.
