Good PR helps you communicate the need for your product or service\, differentiate you from your competitors and build your relationships with the press\, bloggers\, and analysts who will get the word out about your company. Although today startups may wonder if they should spend money on PR\, without it your campaign may fizzle\, not sizzle. Jeannette Bitz-a seasoned PR executive with more than twelve years experience developing successful PR strategies for technology companies-will discuss the value of communicating with the most important media\, reporters and influencers in your market prior to your launch. She'll also take a look at the changing media landscape and how it's affecting PR today. Business and industry trade publications are cutting back and closing. Industry bloggers are gaining in importance. Social media-Facebook\, Twitter\, LinkedIn and even YouTube-have become key communications tools for the media and PR professionals. Who should attend: This session is designed for start-up companies preparing to launch their product or company into the market. Since top-level executives are often involved in such launches\, company presidents as well as vice presidents and directors of marketing will find the presentation of interest. Free for eBig Members\, $15 for Pre-registered Guests or $20 at the door.

Bootstrapper's Breakfasts are for founders of early stage technology startups. It is a chance to compare notes on operational\, development\, and business issues with peers. These breakfasts were designed for entrepreneurs to share ideas and leverage thoughts with other folks who are serious about growing their business. At Bootstrapper's Breakfast we have serious conversations about growing a business based on internal cashflow. This is not for entrepreneurs who want to meet VCs\, this is for founders who are actively bootstrapping a startup. We meet in the back room at several Silicon Valley restaurants so space is limited. These breakfasts are facilitated by SKMurphy\, Inc. as a service to the Silicon Valley bootstrapper community\, so there is no sales pitch from us or anyone else who attends. The first breakfast was held at Coco's in the heart of Silicon Valley in 2005. Since that time\, they have grown to multiple locations through out the Bay Area. Cost of breakfast + tip.

Our July session will be focusing on 'The Current State of the CleanTech Bubble'. After rising to #2 in 2008 in the PwC Money Tree\, cleantech investing plummeted 75% in Q1'09 to #4 in the industry rankings\, after Software\, Biotech\, and Med Devices. Many of the cleantech deals that required over $50M in venture financing and hundreds of millions in project finance are either dead or pursuing new strategies that are more capital efficient and require less debt. Scores of companies are applying for government funds to supplement their equity base. Come listen to and quiz our panel of experts to see if the cleantech bubble has burst or if this is simply the pause that refreshes the industry.
