Southeast VC

SEVC - Quick Recap

David and I spent the last 2 days at the Southeast Venture Conference. The 7th annual conference was in Charlotte for the first time. 

The conference was completely sold out and I was told there was a long waiting list. Anyone that attended yesterday's lunch and listened to the keynote by Bill McDermott, CEO at SAP can talk about how packed it was.

I was impressed with both the quality of the companies that presented and the number of investors there. I also liked the mix of investors. Lots of angels, but also VCs and PE from all over the country.

I met a bunch of new entrepreneurs at SEVC. This pulled out a number of Charlotte entrepreneurs that I haven't met yet. And of course, it was good to see a lot of familiar faces.

So, big thanks to Eric and Scott and the team at Tech Media for pulling it all together. I know these things take a lot of effort.

Southeast Venture Conference - Charlotte

We're looking forward to the 2 day Southeast Venture Conference, which will be held next week in  Charlotte. It is the first time Charlotte has hosted SEVC. I was in Charlotte yesterday for a few hours and there is definitely a good buzz going around about it.

If you haven't been to SEVC before, check out the agenda and speaker lineup. We've been active in trying to help out, inviting over 15 of the panelists.

This is one of my favorite conferences of the year and the guys at Tech Media always do a great job.
