More on VCIR Winter Conference

From the desk of Kathryn Marshall...

I found this year’s VCIR Winter conference in Beaver Creek nothing short of impressive. Despite the gloomy economic winter, the VCIR conference was a wonderful (and much needed) reprieve from the seemingly endless string of tough business news – nearly 300 entrepreneurs, investors, CEOs and service providers gathered to talk about Colorado’s most promising investment opportunities

One of the highlights for me (besides the skiing) was the media panel moderated by Brad Feld of the Foundry Group. The panelists included Spencer Ante of BusinessWeek, Rebecca Buckman of Forbes, Dan Primack of peHUB Wire and Mark Veverka of Barron’s. Some of the highlights of the panel included discussion about the changing media landscape and whether or not print media would survive. This topic hit close to home, particularly since we just witnessed the closing of Denver’s nearly 150 year-old Rocky Mountain News. The panel also debated the industry’s most promising up and coming companies, and many agreed that an economic recession is a great time to start a new business given the bargains on resources, labor, real estate and other services.

Hats off to Seth Levine of the Foundry Group and Mike Bearup from KPMG for putting on a Class A event.
