I’m moderating a Churchill Club event this Thursday called
“No Plan, No Capital, No Model…No Problem: Companies that Defied What VCs Will Tell You.” Here’s a decription of the event:

Conventional wisdom says listen to the venture capitalists. They know what works. They know how to successfully build a startup. But Silicon Valley wasn’t built on convention, and this program moderated by Club favorite Guy Kawasaki presents company founders who have defied the conventional wisdom and built emerging companies.

The panelists are:

Ann Crady, Founder, MayasMom.com
Markus Frind, Founder, PlentyofFish.com
James Hong, Co-Founder, HotorNot.com
David Lu, CEO and Co-Founder, Fanpop.com
Karen Northup, CEO and Founder, CoreFino
