JTV Tech Talk: Adam Beguelin on Post Exit Startup Wisdom January 3, 2008

Justin.tv is hosting tech talks for the SOMA community. Free pizza will be served at noon, and the talk will start at 12:30 (for approx. 40 min). The talks will be open to anyone in the area who is interested in listening, and will also be broadcast on justin.tv/hackertv.

This talk will be by Adam Beguelin, founder of Truveo, on "Post Exit Startup Wisdom":

Starting a company is an exciting, frustrating, and sometimes rewarding endeavor. I've done four startups, founding two. I've been through IPOs, acquisitions, near acquisitions, and the Venture Capital Nuclear Winter of 2001-2003. This talk covers some of the lessons I've learned along the way. I'll talk about raising money, spending money, and some opinions on how to build and release software in a Web 2.0 world.
