A Great Idea From NY Video 2.0 We Can Use for DC
May 21, 2008 · Print This Article
Many of us here in the area have been kicking around the idea of a “Meet the VC” event. One where local peeps can throw their idea out to a VC and get feedback on it. Is it a good idea ? Is it a bad idea ? Nothing pressure packed, rather a friendly exchange to kick your ideas and get valuable feedback from a good source.
We have not gotten around to holding the event yet, but I came across a post by Allen Stern of CenterNetworks about an event very similar to this they help in NYC recently. It was the NY Video 2.0 meetup. he had a great video up of the event where 5 companies gave a short talk and demo of their product and at the end, 3 VC’s gave their opinions. It was perhaps a little more formal than I had in mind, but nonetheless a great example for us to follow. I got his permission to post the video here, so please watch and let us know what you think.
thanks for sharing my video! i wish the 3 of them were a bit more straight forward but i understand they were in front of a large audience.
