Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 5:30pm - 9:00pm
The management team is critical to the success or failure of a start-up. But for first-time entrepreneurs, and even some seasoned veterans, building the team can be a daunting enterprise. How do you attract, identify and keep top talent? When should you add key positions, and when should you fire executives who aren't working out? And how will your investors be evaluating you?
Our keynote speakers, Tom Crotty and Vic Odryna, will address these questions and more from the perspectives of an investor and an entrepreneur.
Tom Crotty is General Partner at Battery Ventures, a leading venture capital firm that focuses on technology investments. Crotty has extensive experience investing in communications and e-commerce companies. He has worked with dozens of entrepreneurs and their management teams in his more than 20 years in venture capital.
Vic Odryna is a serial entrepreneur who is co-Founder and CEO of ZeeVee, a start-up that is bridging the last fifty feet between home computers and HDTVs. Odryna was also Founder of PixelVision, a pioneer in flat-panel monitors, President & CEO of Inceptor, a search marketing company, and has been a key marketing executive at other companies. He will share his experiences building teams in his companies.
