WHAT: A roundtable of speakers address disruptive practices from the NBA to the Software Industry.
In modern times, Billy Beane pioneered the radical statistical approach to baseball, which the Red Sox have perfected. Now much of the NBA has adopted the Moneyball approach with amazing results.
In the software industry, the notion of giving away a free product is no longer considered radical (see Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter). In contrast, software company SolarWinds pioneered this approach in the enterprise market over ten years ago. The company went public in May of 2009 on the NASDAQ and is currently trading at 75% above its offering price. We'll hear from Ben Nye, board member for SolarWinds; Ken Catanella will walk us through how the NBA is applying analytics; and Scott Maxwell will walk us through a sea change in the Venture Capital Community and how OpenView Venture Partners has adopted a disruptive approach to venture investing.
Agenda:
Disruptive Approaches in the National Basketball Association
-- Ken Catanella, Statistical Consultant, NBA
Applying Lean Principles to Building Great Global Software Companies
-- Ben Nye, Managing Director, Bain Capital
-- Scott Maxwell, Founder & SR. Managing Director, Open View Venture
Partners
-- Moderator, Mike Grandinetti Managing Director, Southboro Capital
WHEN: Thursday, October 29, 2009 6:00-8:30 PM
WHERE: Foley Hoag, Emerging Enterprise Conference Center
