Who Are Europe's Ron Conways? - At Disrupt Europe We'll Find Out

41882v1-max-250x250During the TechCrunch Disrupt Europe conference in Berlin later this month we'll see some of Europe's key players come together to discuss the state of technology startups and investing. One thing you can be sure of with Disrupt - something which uniquely sets it apart from other conferences - is that people come there to make news and rub shoulders with the key players who make decisions about what companies really get backed in this ecosystem. If in Silicon Valley seed stage investors like Ron Conway of SV Angels are considered to be the 'early signallers' about what is hot in that ecosystem, then the same can be said of that set of individuals who fulfill that signalling role. These are the people who are so incredibly well connected that, if you can get to them and convince them about your capability as an entrepreneur and as a startup, then their involvement is worth ten times the mere amount of money they might invest. Of course it's not just Conway - it's as much people like Dave McClure, Michael Arrington or Chris Sacca.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/saNhmZ3_mJE/
