 Okay, we're back here live at Stanford University. I'm John Furrier, the founder of Silicon Angle, and this is our day wrap-up here. We hear all day live broadcasting here inside the cube, our flagship program. We go out to the events, it's trying to sit from the noise. My co-host Jeff Kelly, and next time to wrap up our day at the Excel Stanford Symposium, 17th annual, exclusive coverage, hashtag is Excel Enterprise, which is the theme of the event. Jeff Kelly, one of the things I would notice here is that the pattern is obviously enterprise, Excel partners known for their consumer investments. Obviously Facebook was the big home run, but Ping Li, active partner in the firm, announced today at the show an innovation scholarship for PhD programs, one of the big part of the keynotes. Great set of speakers, Jeff Weiner from LinkedIn, talking about the economic graph. We had lynda.com here, lynda.com talking about the skills graph. But a lot of their investments, a lot of their portfolio, lots of Excel partners, really events. So not a lot of VCs were here, starts with Greylock, EIR here, but for the most part it's Excel partners. And my observation is a lot of the companies are profitable, they're investing in companies that have been profitable, and not just Silicon Valley, Montreal, all over the world. So, big take, what's your take? Well it's interesting, Excel is building out there, specifically around big data and data focused companies, startups, to take advantage of some of the innovation that their companies they've earlier invested in have done in the infrastructure layer of big data. So, you've got for instance, Cloudera building out the big data platform on Hadoop, and now you're starting to see as Cloudera's maturing, and that platform is starting to become quote unquote enterprise ready, now you're starting to see startups that are building applications on top of that stack. So companies like OrigamiLogic that we spoke to today and others. Really there's now an opportunity where the barrier to entry for a big data application startup is a lot lower because of the work companies like Cloudera had done. So, a very strategic approach by Excel, really impressed with that. We had the VP of engineering from Dropbox here, and Sameer Gandhi from Excel Partners talking about the Dropbox investment. We had Amanda Richardson, Head of Product for Prezi, Tom Byers from Stanford University talking about the change over the transformation in online education, online data would stand for success with their entrepreneurship programs and all the data. We had the President of Microsoft's Server and Tools business, Satya Nadella. Mike Olson from Cloudera was on. Mike was very candid about their progress and success, and that squashes all kind of data around Cloudera's future, which is still bright and sunny. Obviously they got some competition, and obviously they're prepared. We've had Origami, Logic, Ofer, who sold his company to Juniper now for another run here with Excel. Qualdris Ryan Smith, Medu from CEDIS, now at VMware, now Pivotal. We didn't have Bradley Horowitz, we couldn't get Jeff on there, run out the door. We had the founder of Lightspeed, and just Martha Russell from MediaX, and of course, Bud Colligan from Excel Partners. But just overall, a great day. Obviously the enterprise is hot. Again, it's great for us to see Silicon Valley pick up on words like shadow IT, consumerization of IT. It's all here to stay, and obviously really, really big investment area. The enterprise is hot, Jeff. Absolutely. You mentioned the consumerization of IT, and I think one of the things we're seeing in the application space, really this idea of bringing simple, elegant applications that build on some of the really complex infrastructure underneath, but really provide a simple and again, elegant kind of interface for the business user. We talked to Rob Solomon about a number of things in terms of some of the things he looks for in a company. Rob recently joined Excel, former Groupon president. We talked about how startups use data, not necessarily data focused companies, but how startups use data to inform their application development process and build their applications, test them in the real world, that kind of thing. That was really interesting to me. Data is very much a differentiator, not just for those companies that are making data focused applications, but are making any kind of applications in the way they actually build on the data coming from their users and others. So some really interesting stuff today. What I want to do is shout out to Ping Li and Excel partners, great partners to having us here in theCUBE and inviting us to their very intimate thought leadership conference here. Obviously we'd stand for California, technically Palo Alto, right down the street from where we live and I'll say Jeff, thanks for coming out here. Great data. I think Excel really put an exclamation point on the fact that they know what they're doing in the enterprise. They're not just doing consumer deals and that they got their finger on the pulse and they're seeing the trends around purchasing, the consumerization, the user experience from payments to purchasing to user experience across the board. Again, great conference and having stand for it in Excel, this partnership has paid off for Excel as a firm. It continued to be a tier one venture capital firm, a tier one event certainly here and we're proud to be here. This is SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's exclusive coverage here with Jeff Kelly, number one big data analyst on the planet with Wikibon. Again, go to wikibon.org slash big data to see all Jeff's work. Go to siliconangle.com to get all the reference points for tech innovation in the enterprise. Again, our wheelhouse is cloud mobile and social. Been doing computer science, meet social science for a long time. So really a great event for us to get in here, read the tea leaves and get validation that we're right on the right track. Jeff, thanks so much for coming. Shout out to Alex and Mark and the team. And also thanks to the team in San Francisco who's up broadcasting live at the Amazon Web Services Summit with all the developers. That's a wrap from SiliconANGLE's exclusive coverage of Excel, Stanford Symposium. Thanks for watching and see you next time at theCUBE. Next week we'll be at EMC World and keep watching.
