Venture Capital: Ventures Converge

摘要

In a crowded meeting room at an analyst conference in San Francisco's booming downtown, the CEO of one of the most revered and vilified digital-media startups to come out of Silicon Valley tries to convince a crowd of potential investors that the digital-music revolution will not end in a local courtroom. Across the state in his Los Angeles home, the executive producer of one of Hollywood's greatest motion picture accomplishments decries his hometown industry and explains why he is betting his money on what he calls a "brave new world" in movie making. And in a Silicon Valley office building, a partner with one of the technology industry's most supportive venture capital firms cheerfully recalls his investments in the silicon and settop boxes that are changing the face of media and technology.
