Venture capitalists invested $ 21.8 billion in 3,277 deals in 2010, an increase of 19 percent in dollars and a 12-percent rise in deals over the prior year, according to latest MoneyTree Report, which tracks the industry. The rise in venture investments in 2010 represents the first time the annual investment level has increased since 2007. Now that you have decided to launch a company, how do you ensure that you have the right recipe for a successful business? What does it take for an innovative idea to land a top investor in its early days? How do investors gauge the chances of success for a startup beyond early days? How do they partner with entrepreneurs to ensure a successful exit? Our event panel, consisting of top-notch Silicon Valley investors, will discuss their secret recipe for picking the right startups early on and helping them become successful businesses. Join us on April 26 in downtown Mountain View, Calif. for this exciting event.
This event is a special VLAB fundraiser event for Japan Tsunami Relief. All ticket proceeds will be donated to America Red Cross.
