Two of Silicon Valley’s most successful venture capitalists say even the best ideas can be worthless without passion.
In the concluding session of Revenue Bootcamp, two money men – Mike Moritz, Sequoia Capital and Paul Graham, Y Combinator – sat down with Guy Kawasaki, managing director, Garage Technology Ventures to discuss the realities of venture capital funding in the technology industry – and the passion needed to succeed.
The day-long Revenue Bootcamp held July 10, 2009, on the Microsoft campus in Mountain View, Calif., brought together some top-notch experts to share tips, hints, lessons and advice about how to increase traffic with Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing and face-to-face meetings.
This video, “Fireside chat,” is the last in a series recorded during the one-day conference organized by Kawasaki.
All of the videos will remain available on building43.com.

everyone in this video has terrible posture
great trio :)
Love how Moritz is talking about original Apple business plan and how they
were trying to create/invent things to put in it to make the market share
big enough for investors to look at. so funny… around 40:00:00 on the
video.
HA HA, I LOVE how Paul Graham proves his own point by exposing his
cluelessness around 38:50. He is right about the RIM/Blackberry
predictions, but COMPLETELY WRONG about Android’s market-share. 🙂
Yes , Its exactly right word to say. if you don’t put all efforts in one
bowl and start your venture then its worthless. We have created a new
