 SVASE Web 2.0 Panel May 2008
This was a lively and insightful panel discussion Thursday evening May 8 2008, organized by SVASE and held at the Wilson Sonsini Goodrich campus in Palo Alto.
This panel was loaded with very successful web entrepreneur-developers.
What interested me the most was the running discussion thread regarding site (online business) development
philosopy and methodology. One panelist emphatically proclaimed "If you can't bring
your application up within 90 days, you are doing it WRONG! wrong,
wrong, wrong!!" (I noted experienced desktop software developers in the back of the
room cringing). But the web platform is different.

 Karen Tucke Churchill Club CEO introduces Craig Newmark Panel  Craig Newmark a tech community original thinker and icon
The Churchill Club hosted an interesting panel on the topic of "Bootstrapping startups" in San Francisco Thursday evening, March 7. Although the panel never really managed to delve much into the topic of bootstrapping a startup, the discussion was interesting in it's own right.

 hot startups venture capital svasel I attended this interesting panel discussion session Thursday Jan 10. It was organized by the Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs, held at the Wilson Sonsini Goodrich campus in Palo Alto, and attended by about 130 local entrepreneurs and business people. The panel discussion was moderated by Mark Albertson, Executive Producer of Tech Closeup TV, and the four venture capitalists were selected because they are 'A-round' (sometimes also called 'seed', or first-round) investors, who need to be ahead of the cutting edge of investing trends. 'A-round investment' is currently the place to be due to systemic changes underway in the venture capital business.
