Like the great centers of innovation, Silicon Valley is about the people and their interactions. It’s something you really can’t get a feel of from inside your car or even walking down the street. You need to get inside of those building and deeper inside those conversations. Here’s a few suggestions of how to do so.
Lately I have seen a number of deals announced on TechCrunch in which five or more different VCs were participating in the deal. This always makes me chuckle because in my first company we had five investors in our first round and we picked up five more before we finally sold the company.

Over the years we’ve had more than 300 ventures present at our regional events, of which about 20% went on to receive venture funding. This tutorial was created to help you, the entrepreneur, gauge whether or not participating in VCIC makes sense for your venture. And by...
Guest columnist Richard Titus points out some of the differences between European and US venture capitalists. I've chosen to make Europe my home because I want it to be the best place in the world to found a consumer internet business. In this next age of global digital business, we have many advantages, so let's address some of our weaknesses, play to some of our strengths and build the next...

If you’re an entrepreneur, your goal is to create something new and exciting that hundreds of thousands (maybe even millions) of people will use. If you are an actor, your goal is to get on TV or the big screen.

We’ve got a good cadre of entrepreneurs here who’ve had experience with building Open Source companies. We have investors who’ve been through the process of investing in and nurturing Open Source companies. And we have the all-important talent pool of people who’ve been part of the process.
Australia’s entrepreneurs have long lamented that if you really want to create a successful global technology startup that you have to leave Australia and go to Silicon Valley.
