ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā)
noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff. Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's. |
« “Geek Dinner” hosted by Robert Scoble of Microsoft | Main | Novell releases Linux Desktop 9 as competitor to Microsoft Office » SDForum Founders’ Forum Brown Bag lunch with Steve BlankLocal tech association, SDForum held November’s Founders’ Forum brown bag lunch wtih Steve Blank, which I attended. A very influential and well connected guy, Blank gets called in by numerous Silicon Valley VCs to bail out companies so he has a very good idea of what is going on and can provide introductions. I did a BMA roundtable session on Steve’s model in August, and have met him a few times. He gave a very good presentation, and handed out a 6-page reading list for entrepreneurs (which I’ll try to find a scanner to get it scanned in). About 15 entrepreneurs attended, no VCs. The entrepreneurs seemed very new and small time – but it’s still good to see his ideas are gaining traction. See here for the presentation we used in the roundtable session – it’s from a session he gave at Stanford’s Graduate Business School’s Entrepreneurship course last fall. |
