SDForum Quarterly Venture Breakfast: Consumer Internet July 13, 2010

SDForum's Quarterly Venture Breakfast with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Pillsbury Winthrop: The Consumer Internet

For many years, VCs shied away from consumer deals...too hard to predict consumer whims...big marketing budgets usually required...hard to build a brand. With the wild success of some consumer plays (e.g. Amazon, eBay, Google), now many VCs do consumer plays and some even focus on them. Now there are thousands of consumer plays, angling for a bigger share of eyeballs, wallets, and advertising revenues. Are there still big consumer plays or is the field already saturated? Who will be the winners and losers? Come hear our panelists answer these questions and more as they discuss the consumer landscape and how they expect their companies and others to navigate it.

Speakers Include:
Howard Hartenbaum, August Capital
Rebecca Lynn, Morgenthaler
Mark Menell, Rustic Canyon
Danny Wallace, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Moderated by: Allison Leopold-Tilley, Pillsbury Winthrop
