Social Networking Panel Discussion at Zeitgeist ’07
Chris Alden, Michael Birch, Reid Hoffman and Esther Dyson at Zeitgeist ’07
Being an entrepreneur can be challenging enough: Putting together the right combination of market opportunity, product, team, and financing is more art than science. But being an entrepreneur in the social networking space brings a completely different set of challenges. Rather than the Facebooks and Myspaces, we’ve invited entrepreneurs from lesser-known social software companies, who will talk about their strategies for enabling online community — LinkedIn from a business perspective, BeBo for consumers, and Socialtext for workgroup collaboration. Dyson, a longtime industry observer through her Release 1.0 newsletter and PC Forum conferences, as well as an active investor, will uncover the key success factors in growing a successful social networking startup.
