"Venture 2009 will be a focus on innovation, our very best and brightest in entrepreneurs and companies,” said Venture 2009 selection committee chair Steve Nelson, managing partner at venture capital firm Wakefield Group. “History shows that many of an era's great companies get started in economic downturns. This event is our chance to see what future history makers will become today's reality. And we are thrilled that John Denniston, of the legendary venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins, will be joining us. John is one of the most respected company builders in the world. To great notoriety, including all the way to the White House, John conceptualized and launched Kleiner Perkin’s awe-inspiring greentech initiative.
