Having a chat in a seminar event by Deasign, and talking to VCs

First I have to be a bit apologetic about blogging too much about my own speaking gigs and such shameless self-promotion. Writing something with more substance has had to take a back seat in the busy dealings of the startup world. However that might change quite soon as I now have more time on my hands to concentrate on writing something with more substance. So, perhaps you'll see a few blog entries like "ye olden days" here again soon, stay tuned.

Meanwhile; I'll be having a chat in a seminar organized by Deasign Finland at Teatteri on May the 5th. The event is open for signups and you have around 5 days of time to go and sign up though their site:

(all in Finnish, as is the presentation itself).

The target audience is marketing executives etc of companies in both; the b-2-b and b-2-c space. Feel free to tip your contacts (and encourage them to sign up) ; this is a good chance to come and have some brunch, and a few good takeaways if we are lucky.

About a week from now I will also be talking in an event organized by the VCs in Finland (their own internal event). About what's going on in the social media space and how they should value and evaluate social media companies.

What would you say to them about that? What do you think is the most essential criteria or quality or quantity in a social media company that they should look at? Revenue? Visitors? Team? Ideas? Potential? all of those?

Let your voice be heard and I promise you this; if you come up with a good one, I'll use that and mention from whom I got it from ;-)
