Today’s Discussion Jan 4 2010
Key themes:
Where are new funds being raised? Sectors? Geographies?
What is needed to be successful in raising a fund in Europe today?
What are the differences between raising venture funds in Europe and Silicon Valley?
The role of government(s) in European venture funds?
Where is venture capital headed in Europe?

Why European Entrepreneurship + Innovation @ Stanford ??
Why Europe and Silicon Valley?
A strong community of important entrepreneurs, investors, technology executives and researchers in Silicon Valley
Contributions are often neglected in Valley discussions about Asia and US
An emerging innovation region and community
Growing role in bringing new energy , environmental , water, information, medical devices and life sciences technologies to the global market
Substantial challenges in Europe to rapidly moving technical innovations developed in universities, national laboratories and corporations into the marketplace
Europe is increasingly looking to domestic entrepreneurship — and Silicon Valley — to accelerate economic growth and build a new generation of innovative technology corporations
European regions are taking the lead here in many cases – not well understood in the US
Why Stanford?
Complements and expands current School of Engineering teaching programs on Silicon Valley and Asian high tech entrepreneurship
Large community of European, Asian, overseas and US engineering & medical students, professors, postdocs and staff with sustained interest in Europe
Overseas Studies Program (OSP) centers in 6 European countries
Berlin, Florence, Madrid, Moscow, Oxford, Paris – 250+ undergraduate students/year study in Europe !!
“ Comparative entrepreneurship and innovation systems ” provides interesting new approach
Extends dialogue about “pure” entrepreneurship into broader perspective around “innovation ecosystems”
Strong interest at Stanford Engineering in expanding research collaborations, funding sources and profile outside the US
