Avvo at Techflash Event – Bootstrapping vs. Venture Capital

May 27th, 2010 by Mark Britton, CEO

I’ll be speaking (?) at the TechFlash Town Hall on June 15th.  TechFlash has set up an interesting, town hall format where a number of entrepreneurs, investors, commentators, etc. will share thoughts on raising money, specifically the pros/cons of bootstrapping vs. venture capital.  Here is the current cast of characters:

Michael Arrington, founder and publisher of TechCrunch.
Mark Britton
, founder and CEO of Avvo.
Bill Bryant
, angel investor and venture partner at Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
Hillel Cooperman
, founder of Jackson Fish Market.
Ben Elowitz
, founder and CEO of Wetpaint.
Geoff Entress
, angel investor and venture partner at Voyager Capital.
Greg Gottesman
, managing director at Madrona Venture Group.
Serena Glover
, co- founder and former executive at Twango.
Glenn Kelman
, president & CEO of Redfin.
Andy Liu
, angel investor and co-founder of BuddyTV.
Steve Murch
, founder of BigOven.com and former CEO of VacationSpot.com.
Dan Rosen
, chairman of the Alliance of Angels.
Andy Sack
, general partner at Founder’s Co-op.
Lucinda Stewart
, managing director at OVP Venture Partners.

This format could be really interesting or a complete free-for-all.  We shall see.  Whatever the case, I have spoken on enough panels with most of the participants to know it will be tough for me to get a word in edgewise.  ;-)

So, please join us at Seattle University on June 15thYou can register here.
