    •  It was my 1st of these. Certainly worthwhile. I would recommend to those presenting to hone and craft their presentation skills. They have very limited time on stage and while the stakes aren't high (this isn't a VC pitch) they still have a fairly critical audience and its a worthwhile opportunity. If you can't wow with your product in 15 minutes then you either have the wrong product or the wrong person presenting it. Would love to see more networking that allow people to cross-polinate. I also missed the first 20 minutes (and pizza) so I may have missed it :-| A cool idea could be for people in startups to raise professions/business questions they are struggling with and solicit advice from experts in the room. The advice can be given offline, but the match-making can be done live. I'll certainly come again. 
    •  It was well organized, and the format was simple and to the point. 
    •  What a great event. Yaron keeps raising the bar. Great crowd, great resentations, great venue, pizza and water. Can't ask for more. 
    •  Great job Yaron! 
    •  Excellent presentation by Steven Barsh on Derisking Ventures 
    •  Great to be with all attended. Great progrem

       Presenters were clear and on-target. Learned a lot and saw an opportunity. Wasn't as crowded as last meeting, so it was easier to walk around and meet people.

       Great presentation by TurnTo & eHire. Powerful, but too short, anatomy of a funding pitch from Steve Barsh. Now, how about live video conference with Tel Aviv next meeting? 
    •  eHire got a lot of value from our presentation. thanks, Joe Sabrin eHire [masked]x7500 www.ehire.com

       I guess it is difficult to assess the interest level of a given presenter. We had three today, the last being by far the best (unfair advantage = marketing professional...). Maybe it could help us, the audience, to suggest a list of verticals from which you could attract presenters. They may not be great orators, but the subject matter should be interesting. It might also be interesting to be able to review presentations ahead of time. Otherwise it is a good forum. Keep up the excellent work! Matti Laserson
