Catching up on expense reports and blog posts but wanted to give a quick shout out to Debbie and Jasmine over at Dealmaker Media for the awesome show they put on last week. Rick and I were in the valley for a multitude of reasons but among them was attending the Under the Radar conference held by Dealmaker. This one-day conference showcases the hottest emerging tech companies and has an impressive track record of presenting companies either obtaining funding and/or being acquired. This year's theme was "clarifying the cloud." Great presos by companies such as Eucalyptus, CloudKick, Heroku, and Twilio just to name a few. Congrats to our friends over at Zuora for winning "best in show." And Rick did a great job as always giving an update on Boomi (we were in the "grad circle") which you can watch here.
I have been to a lot of tech conferences and this show is definitely tops. If you are a VC or entrepreneur looking to stay current with emerging technologies and companies, this is a must attend event. Very well run, innovative (e.g. text voting), excellent content, great networking. There was a great networking reception the night before as well. One good litmus test: most conferences - even one day conferences, tend to thin out in the late afternoon. Not this one - full crowd to the end.
So again - kudos to Debbie, Jasmine, Giselle and crew!
