2010 ended and now we all look forward to see what could happen in 2011. With a world economy as fragile as it is
today: looming problems creeping in from the Euro-Zone, a potential lame-duck US Congress, and China tapping the
brakes on its growth, what might we expect in the short and medium-term future? Will 2011 be the year that we finally get
some resolution to burning issues? With the trend in mobile computing, and cloud computing coming into sharper
focus, which companies will thrive and which will flounder?
The direction of smart start-up money has tended to be a leading indicator of where we will see growth and success.
CSPA is proud to kick off 2011 by continuing our tradition of gathering the best and brightest VC's and other industry
wizards to share with us their outlook for 2011. Questions that might reveal where to be best positioned for success in
the year to come include: Where are Venture Capital firms looking to deploy money? What are the sectors to be focused
on? Who are the budding entrepreneurs that may catalyze an industry to exponential growth?
The evening will begin with a presentation from PricewaterhouseCoopers and their well-established MoneyTree™
Report. Come and be part of an informative and insightful evening as we discuss 2011 and its many exciting
possibilities.
The MoneyTree Survey is a quarterly study of venture capital investment activity in the United States, conducted as a
collaboration between PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital
Association.
