Brad Stone, Senior Writer, BusinessWeek -- Moderator
Venture capitalists and entrepreneurs have long been 'the masters of the universe,' at least in Silicon Valley. They have turned the Valley into the heart of high-tech innovation and development and have the power to make or break some of the world's largest companies. The 21st century has borne witness to the dot-com bubble, the private equity crash, yesteryear's greentech capital wave, to today's monetary flow into social networking, e-commerce and online game companies. What's next? Paypal founders and renowned VCs Levchin and Thiel will discuss what they foresee as the best and brightest of 2011.
Thiel is a fucking genius. He's clairvoyant about seeing bubbles.
