NVCA Today

On May 4 & 5, more than 700 venture capitalists gathered in Burlingame, CA for the 2010 NVCA Annual Meeting. To summarize, it was both a celebration of the work that the venture capital industry does each day – and a hard look at the challenges that face our industry in the coming weeks, months and years.  From the IPO drought to global warming to health care reform, we discussed some of the larger issues that face our capital markets and our nation, only to drill down further to address specific nuances to venture investing in IT, life sciences and cleantech. As outgoing chair Terry McGuire and incoming chair Kate Mitchell both eloquently articulated, our industry is small and we need the collective efforts of all of our stakeholders to effectively tell our story in Washington D.C. Thanks to Ira Ehrenpreis of Technology Partners who served as this year’s Annual Meeting Chairman. His time and dedication contributed greatly to this successful event.
