Later today I'll be giving a keynote at the VCJ Venture Alpha conference (http://vcjconferences.com/events/sf_2011/agenda.cgi) 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?"
Tough topic but I have some views. I thought you might enjoy reading the presentation before even others see it! It is pretty self explanatory. You can view here or go to DocStoc (http://www.docstoc.com/) to download it (no, I'm not an investor, it's just a great repository for docs).
Future of VC / Internet (http://www.docstoc.com/docs/100225840/Future-of-VC--Internet) Next week I promised to follow up on PE Hub (http://www.pehub.com/), the main journal 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.
And all feedback welcome! See you in the comments.
