Live video from VentureBeat recession impact on startup event
We’re broadcasting live video on Kyte.tv from the second session of VentureBeat’s roundtable on the economic impacts on startups of the recession right now. We’ll try to have the recording up, but during the first session we had a problem that deleted the stream that we’re trying to figure out right now.
On stage in second session:
Max Levchin, the Slide founder and PayPal co-founder who helped lead that company through the first IPO after the last bubble popped;
Jason Calacanis, the Sequoia-backed founder of Mahalo and writer of a controversial letter predicting doomsday for the vast majority of Web 2.0 start-ups. Shortly afterward, Sequoia stirred the valley by holding a mandatory meeting for the CEOs of its portfolio companies.
AllThingDigital’s Kara Swisher.
Toni Schneider, CEO of Automattic.
Nirov Tolia, ePinions founder.

Great stuff — this discussion seems to be more specifics, less generalities.

This video is filled with helpful advice on promotion strategies.
Perhaps, this could be an ongoing series featuring successful high profile survivors.
There are so many stories and anecdotes waiting to be shared :-D

We may not fit the terms of an official recession yet (thanks stimulus check) but we just had the first retraction in our GDP of .03% (worst since 2001) so its on its way!
