Anyway, the panel is five guys (who happen to be some of the world&#8217;s top venture capitalists) sitting on a couch talking about money in the startup world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THIS IS KEY TO KNOW IF YOU&#8217;RE A STARTUP LOOKING FOR MONEY. Because they basically spill the deeds on what they are investing in &#8211; which to some extend also signals what will be developed in the startup community within the next couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They give it all to you- saying what it is they are looking for In a startup and what characteristics you need to have before you&#8217;re relevant to them. Super important information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year they are saying &#8220;SoLoMo&#8221; &#8211; which also is the subject line for the le web conference. &#8220;SoLoMo&#8221; is an abbreviation for &#8220;Social&#8221;, &#8220;Local&#8221; and &#8220;Mobile&#8221;. So this is where the money primarily is going to be spent within the next 1 or two years. I think it&#8217;s an exciting trend because it holds a lot of possibilities &#8211; both offline and mobile &#8211; but not so much for the web. Can it really be that we are starting to develop more to connect people in general instead of developing for the web? I think so. Is the World Wide Web on a decline? Maybe not so much yet &#8211; but something tells me that it&#8217;s a very likely scenario in the near future. that is kind of exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I saw this presentation today on google + about lean-back media and the shock of the old:<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/emmaturner\/lean-back-media-the-shock-of-the-old\" target=\"_blank\">Lean back media: the shock of the old<\/a><\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/\" target=\"_blank\"> presentation <\/a>from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/emmaturner\" target=\"_blank\">emmaturner<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which I also think says something very relevant about the offline\/local\/mobile transition.<br>Could it be that laptops will turn more and more into an advanced typewriter where all the reading and the playing and interacting is done on tablets? a likely scenario again =)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway a huge pointer from here &#8211; and a real exciting one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"70\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/henrietteweber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/rock_on_henriette_transparent.png?resize=200%2C70&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"rock on\" class=\"wp-image-14\" title=\"rockonhenriettetransparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So when I was sitting in front of the stage at le web day 2 &#8211; listening to the &#8220;money&#8221; panel &#8211; which normally is one of the Best discussions of le Web &#8211; if you Are a startup, I got that feeling again. the &#8220;omg I know now what to guide people and companies [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,9,20],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-launching","category-business","category-trends","tag-conferences"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":530,"url":"https:\/\/henrietteweber.com\/index.php\/2011\/09\/22\/sweden-be-appreciative-of-the-swedish-startup-community\/","url_meta":{"origin":516,"position":0},"title":"Sweden:  Be appreciative of the Swedish startup community","author":"Henriette Weber","date":"September 22, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"The swedish startup community rocks!
