forgot to ask the “entrepreneurs” panel whether they thought falsifying your resume and screwing your employees out of their company equity was a good way to manage your startup in a downturn…

I agree with the poster above.

This really is the poster-child for what is wrong with the valley. A bunch of entrepreneurs who spent too much time at conferences, meet-ups, mash-ups, etc., are now going to even more conferences to figure out what to do now that the part is over. I guess some people will avoid hard work any way they can.

My advice to anyone who is considering wasting their money on this is to save your money and instead focus on building a product someone will pay you for, then go convince people to pay you for it. Then repeat.

I am not surprised to see the usual list of conference knuckleheads speaking at this. But John Doehr and Ram? This is way, way beneath them.

Finally, shouldn't Calacanis be running his company after laying people off last week? I don't know how much longer Sequoia is going to put up with the "Community CEO" scam. Jason, I love you and all, but get to work.

Step 1: Don't Spend $189 for a 1/2 day conference

Step 2: Don't Spend 1/2 of your day at a conference.

As a fellow Valley entrepreneur, let me say it's grow up time Silicon Valley. The days of sitting in conferences talking about business and chatting with your friends are over.

Now is the time to do the hard work of building a company or go home.

Seriously, aconference on how not to go out of business. The irony is painfully comedic.
