VC Outlook: 2010

2010 represents the beginning of a new decade and we all want to know what the future holds that is if it can be predicted . One often hears adages like "things change" and that "some things never change". In this panel, we will explore what has changed in the venture capital community practices and what remains the same -- ideas and teams that get funded, valuations, exits and everything you need to know to work with a VC as your partner in realizing your entrepreneurial dream. If you are an entrepreneur looking for clues on how VCs will be making up their minds, this is the panel you will want to hear. If you are a job seeker, may be you will find out about interesting companies to work for.
