Checking out start-ups at launch: silicon valley
On June 9, I’ll be stopping by the annual Launch: Silicon Valley event at the Microsoft campus in Mountain View . The gathering is co-sponsored by Microsoft , Garage Technology Ventures , and the Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs (or SVASE). The gathering is usually a good opportunity to take the pulse of the entrepreneurial community. In advance, I spoke with SVASE President and CEO Chris Gill to get his thoughts about the state of Silicon Valley during the downturn.
