Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

One of the tell-tale signs of a first-time entrepreneur is that they run around forcing everyone to sign an NDA, afraid that someone will "steal" their idea. Peter Rojas, one of the founders of Engadget and the co-founder of recently acquired gdgt, recently wrote about some of his mistakes he made with his newest company. One of his biggest regrets? He was too paranoid about people "stealing" his idea."

Instead of having our ideas copied, we should have worried a lot more about how good our ideas were in the first place. The gdgt we envisioned when we started isn’t all that far off from what it’s become.
