Editor's Notes

  1. Over the next decade, the evolution of computing and the Internet will produce faster, increasingly intelligent devices. More of our possessions will contain sensors and computers that log our activities, building digital dossiers that augment our memories, help us make decisions and tame information overload. In the next decade as conjured by Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey, all that information will be available instantaneously, anywhere. He also thinks we'll all use this technology just to keep up with everyone else. Craig Mundie, Microsoft Corp.'s chief research and strategy officer, believes we are near a long-wished-for era of computers that respond to speech, gestures and handwriting. By 2015, it's estimated there will be one trillion connected devices. People with pacemakers will be monitored by wireless systems. In the near future, automobiles will run on 64-bit, multi-core processors, running millions of lines of code. It's a future that IBM believes will be increasingly dominated by a "system of systems," where software scales on devices that interconnect to create a convergence of mechanical, electronic, and digital technologies. The 2000s saw Google become one of the world's most powerful companies because it helped us get a grip on the sprawling content of the Web. What we will need next, however, is a company that doesn't just organize data. Google, or the next Google, will have to synthesize all that information and help us understand what it all means. It used to be we investors focused on how to innovate in the context of the $50B software industry. Now we are focused on innovating in the $15T GDP economy
  2. PIIGGS: Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Great Britain, Spain $60 trillion of wealth lost from peak to today
  3. Voiceover: consumer sentiment backed by hard data: e.g. stock prices and housing pricing coming up As we come out of this lull – technology companies are leading the pack. Key market trends show technology companies are: Outperforming the market in terms of TSR Cash rich and poised for growth Have lots of headroom to grow
  4. Build Slide New Business creation rate is highest ever in last 14 years The overall pace of entrepreneurial activity did not suffer during the recession in 2008
  5. New Business creation rate is highest ever in last 14 years IdeaWins is Microsofts new competition. $100K + NYC storefront (100K value)
  6. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/guide_to_seed_fund_incubators.php
  7. 34% growth even including recent 11% drop in total market cap as Dow slid from 11,000 to 10,000
  8. Global Online Ad Spending To Top $100 Billion By 2015
  9. Build Slide Developing world 1990 - $0.7B  2010 – $14.1B in equity market cap
  10. Mobile user estimated to overtake desktop users in 2014 (at 1.6 B users)
  11. Enabled by growth in wireless options (GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
  12. Google job interview story – “what would you do if you had xx times more information available to you” ZB = 10^21 bytes = 1 Billion terabytes Today’s data volume is equal to books stacked from Earth to Pluto 10x
  13. Lander was a world leader of the international Human Genome Project, the effort to map the blueprint for a human being. Under his leadership, the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research (which formed the core of the Broad Institute) was responsible for developing many of the key tools of modern mammalian genomics and was the leading contributor to the Human Genome Project. Remember to mention GnuBio. Out of Harvard lab (Professor Dave Weitz) – microfluidic droplet technology. Proposed sequencing for $30/genome….outrageous!
  14. Technology is the enabling factor to get these renewable energy sources into the grid
  15. With an R&D enterprise equal to 7% of GDP, if Massachusetts was a country, it would have the most R&D intensive economy in the world. Historically, new business formation accounts for 30-45% of all new jobs. April saw the largest monthly job gain in 17 years (19,000 jobs), the third monthly gain in a row. Innovation industries are leading the way the Philadelphia Fed reports our economy is out-performing 48 other states Independent economists (including the Boston Fed) agree that we went into recession later and less deeply than the rest of the country -- because of those innovation industries For the first time in 20 years, young people and families are moving into Massachusetts faster than they are moving out
  16. Notion of championship community
