The State of Venture Capital and the Internet

By on October 20, 2011

Early today I gave a keynote at the VCJ Venture Alpha conference here in San Francisco. I was asked to speak about the topic of “what is going on in the venture capital world and what is the next big thing after social networking?”


Future of VC Internet –

Tough topic, but what the heck?

Next week I promised to follow up on PE Hub, one of the main journals VCs read about our industry, with a detail description of some specifics that are happening. Watch out for that – I will have a lot more details.

I’ve listed some great VCs in the presentation. I’ve left off many great ones. It isn’t intentional. You can’t cover everybody in a prezzo. Please don’t read anything into that. Some of the big ones I left off was Tim Connors of PivotNorth and Aydin Senkut of Felicis Ventures.

And all feedback welcome! See you in the comments.

    This is actually a very good presentation. I can’t believe how much start-ups have grown over the years, and how it’s much cheaper to put up businesses these days. And television, eh? But perhaps you’re right. Cable Internet is one of the hottest technologies these days. It’s certainly not impossible to further capitalize on it.
