Ice cream and startups
April 14th, 2008 by Benjamin KuoSome events of note coming up:
Tomorrow the Orange County Venture Group has the team from Entropic Communications — one of the notable recent IPOs from Southern California — talking about their IPO process. They’ve got Patrick Henry, the firm’s Chairman and CEO; Lance Bridges, VP Corporate Development and General Counsel; plus their investment banker and venture capitalists in tow to talk about the process.
One of the major venture capital-focused events in the region–the Los Angeles Venture Association’s Investment Capital Conference — has an interesting speaker this year, Jerry Greenfield, one of the co-founders of Ben and Jerry’s (yeah, that Jerry). socalTECH is a media sponsor of the event, which in previous years has always been a good place for entrepreneurs to network with local capital providers, investment bankers, and other finance types. (Last year’s keynote was by Rudy Giuliani, pre-Presidential run). The LAVA event is May 7th.
There’s a lot of events that might be of interest to the high tech community here, as always we try to list them all on the socalTECH Calendar. Let us know if we’ve missed anything!
