This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
This forum was originally presented and recorded on December 13, 2011.
Join Mark Kvamme, CIO of JobsOhio and Michael Moritz, Investment Guru, for a discussion about the impact of venture capitalism on start up businesses. Moritz (not to be confused with the Michael Moritz namesake of the OSU Law School), is a Silicon Valley venture capitalist with Sequoia Capital. He’s a guru of selecting internet and technology companies in which to invest. Some of his early insightful investments were Google, Yahoo, and PayPal. He currently sits on the boards of 24/7 Customer, Earth Networks, Gamefly, Green Dot, Klarna, Kayak.com, LinkedIn, Sugar Inc., and The Melt. Welsh-born Moritz began his career as a journalist with Time. In 1984 he published The Little Kingdom: the Private Story of Apple Computer. After leaving Time, Moritz co-founded Technologic Partners, a technology newsletter and conference company. He joined Sequoia in 1986. In September 2010, he was listed #273 on Forbes’ list of the wealthiest Americans.
