Is the best time ever to be starting a new company in Silicon Valley?
Late last month, I moderated an all-star panel for the Churchill Club on that topic. With easy access to seed capital, the proliferation of online tools to do a variety of basic Web task and the growing availability of computing power and storage in the cloud, you can certainly argue that the barriers to starting a new company – particularly one offering Web-based consumer services – is easier than ever. What not quite so clear is whether it has become any easier to achieve long-term success.
Our state-of-the-startup panel included:
- Draper Fisher Jurvetson venture partner Heidi Roizen.
- SoftTech VC founder Jeff Clavier.
- SmugMug CEO and co-founder Don MacAskill.
- Blogger and Kaufman Foundation senior fellow Paul Kedrosky.
- Microsoft corporate VP Dan’l Lewin.
