The Thursday and Friday (July 10-11) before this year's Foo Camp in Sebastopol July 11-13, O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures will be hosting OATV Startup Camp. This startup boot camp will consist of sessions led by startup veterans and other experts in a roundtable discussion format on various topics important to founders. The sessions will be more of a conversation on each topic rather than a lecture, in which participants will learn from each other as well as from entrepreneurs who've already been successful. We're making space at OATV Startup Camp (and at Foo Camp to follow) for two people from each of six to eight early stage startups that we select from those that apply. Once we select the startups, we’ll tailor the sessions to their issues, but we're planning to cover things like fundraising, PR and viral marketing, and working with investors and a board of directors. And of course, you get to interact with all the people who'll be there at Foo Camp as well. To apply, email your company presentation (no more than 20 slides) to foo at oatv.com. Then note that Foo Camp is all about bringing people together who are doing amazing things. What about your start up would be interesting to the people who come to Foo? At O'Reilly, we're not just interested in making money (although like all investors, we do care about that too!). We're interested in people and technologies that we believe have the potential to change the world for the better, and that tell us something new about emerging trends that everyone else isn't already thinking. Some areas of interest include cloud computing, mobile, location-based services, open source hardware, physical computing and new materials, the future of manufacturing, tools for information management and open data, open source (especially as used to create Web 2.0 data assets), rich media and the future of creativity, cleantech, braintech (applied neuroscience), and personal genomics. Even better, surprise us with something you see that we don't. We'll pick 6-8 early stage startup companies by June 20, 2008. Applications are due by June 6, 2008. |
O'Reilly AlphaTech风投将会搞一个OATV 新创公司训练营活动，安排在Sebastopol今年Foo Camp（7月11-13日）之前的周四和周五（7月10-11）。本次活动由一些会议组成，每个会议部分有富有创业经验的人以及其他领域的专家带领，通过圆桌会议的形式来讨论各种对创业人士非常重要的议题。每个会议针对议题有很多对话而不仅仅是一个演讲，参加人员将能够彼此学习以及从已经成功的企业家那里学习。 我们会从报名参加的处于创业早期的企业中选择一些例子（Foo Camp上也会如此），每六到八个这样的企业选择两个人，一旦选定了我们就会将会议围绕他们的问题进行量身定做，同时也会覆盖其他主体，像筹款、人力资源、病毒式营销以及如何与投资人和董事会成员工作。当然你还将能够与Foo Camp上的所有人交流。 如果想报名参加可以将你公司的情况（别超过20张幻灯片）发到foo at oatv.com。请注意Foo Camp致力于将那些从事神奇事业的人聚集在一起。你开创的事业中有哪些是这些人感兴趣的吗?在O'Reilly我们并不只对赚钱感兴趣(尽管和所有投资人一样我们也同样关心钱!)。我们对有潜力把这个世界改变得更好的人和技术感兴趣，他们会告诉我们关于新趋势的情况，这些信息其他人可能还没有考虑过。 感兴趣的领域包括云计算、移动平台、地理服务、开源硬件，物理计算和新材料、制造业的未来、信息管理和开放数据的工具、开放资源（尤其是创造Web 2.0数据集的）、富媒体和创造的未来、清洁能源技术、脑技术（针对神经科学的）、以及个人基因组学研究。甚至更进一步出乎我们的意料讲一些你知道我们不知道的东西。 2008年6月20日挑选创业公司。报名截止到2008年6月6日。 |
