On January 24, 2012 The Entrepreneur’s Club hosted Guy Kawasaki at the WilmerHale Headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Kawasaki shared advice from his new book, “APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur - How to Publish a Book”.  Abundant with useful advice and ingenious remarks, Kawasaki’s speech was acclaimed by the crowd of Silicon Valley professionals.

Kawasaki opened up by sharing his impressive bio and then explained why Google+ was the “Macintosh of social media”. Kawasaki went on to state that many speakers in Silicon Valley weren’t skilled in public speaking and had two “fail flaws“ -  “they sucked as speakers” and “went long.”

Kawasaki presented an example of what a proper speech should encompass, breaking it down into 10 distinct parts.

What They Say About Us

"The wonderful thing about entrepreneurs is that their passion for starting new companies transcends languages and geographic boundaries."

Ron Conway, Founder and Managing Partner of the Angel Investors LP funds, early stage investor in Google and PayPal

"Networking is very important for start-ups. The challenge for them is often not money: it is mentoring and finding people who can give good advice from experience."

Esther Dyson, Founder, EDventure Holdings

"This conference is clearly a labor of love for a group of dedicated professionals who care deeply about the Eastern European entrepreneurs. From the value-packed educational panels, to the star-studded key note speakers' line up, to an amazing quantity of venture capitalists – this is a not to be missed event for any high tech entrepreneur,"

Richard Guha, President of the Marketing Executives Network and Managing Partner at MaxBrandEquity

"As Stanford MBA students, we were exposed to a lot of VC firms both from the Valley and abroad. It is at Stanford that we met Anna Dvornikova, an absolutely amazing business leader and (by our big luck) our friend, who was the center of the Russian Silicon Valley professional community, and was doing a huge work to connect Russia and the Valley. Anna helped us a lot with kick-starting Wikimart, put us to our first-ever conference, introduced us to most of Russian VCs. And all that happened in a very short time span! It was the beginning of a six-month journey that despite the particularly tough times resulted in an extraordinarily group of investors backing our start-up."

Maxim Faldin and Kamil Kurmakayev,
co-CEOs, Wikimart
