Subject: Show Me The Money!

This event is co-sponsored by ECE. Could you please inform the ECE
grad students about it. It'll be a unique opportunity to meet a
Stanford Phd. graduate who started his $18 Million company straight out of
college and was funded by Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital.

Thanks,
Rahul Mangharam
President, ESITE

 Raising the first round of funding for your venture
  Steve Ketchpel, CTO & Founder
  Vividence Corporation

    Where: DH 1212         When: Friday, Sept 22. 4:30pm-5:30pm
    Pizza & Drinks will be served!

   You've got the killer startup idea, you've assembled the team (well
   almost!), now all you need is the money to get you going!  The hunt for
   funding is on--and you've got questions:

   *  The Elevator pitch!
   *  What are your funding options?
   *  How do you generate VC interest in your idea and company?
   *  What terms are important in the negotiation?
   *  How does the valuation get decided?

BRING YOUR RESUME FOR A CHANCE TO WIN AN MP-3 PLAYER!
Steve Ketchpel, the CTO & Founder of Vividence Corporation, faced the
same questions in September 1998.  In the two years since, he has helped
Vividence raise $18M from top tier  venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins
Caufield and Byers and Sequoia Capital.
