As I’ve noted before, I’m working with Dave McClure on a series of high value meetups targeted at venture capitalists, and novice and experienced entrepreneurs. The events feature a presentation from top talent with moderated discussions at each table. The first event was in Palo Alto and featured a talk on speed by Mike Cassidy. Venturebeat has some great coverage of the event.
Mike Cassidy gave the keynote at our last Startup2Startup event. Mike preached speed as an integral part in creating over three quarters of a billion dollars in value from the three startups he’s founded (Xfire, Direct Hit, and Stylus Innovation). The next event will feature a talk by Chad Hurley.
To keep the quality of discussion up, the events are invite only, and I’ve been charged with corralling some top young entrepreneur talent. In order not to keep tapping the same pools of talent, I figured I’d reach out and find some new entrepreneurs with interesting opinions and ideas to the table, literally. So if you’re a first time entrepreneur (all ages) with a product and a desire to learn, let me know at nick. at. socialmedia.com.
