The program (www.launchsiliconvalley.org/agenda) will start at 8:30 a.m., when Ray Kurzweil, author, inventor, futurist, and Director of Engineering at Google, will give his views on “Innovations in Innovation,” followed by Guy Kawasaki on how to build insanely successful startups, discussions on the changing role of venture capital and updates from several Launch: Silicon Valley alumni companies. The afternoon will be given over to the 30 presenting companies, when each one will have the opportunity to present their products and field questions from the audience and a panel of VCs and Angels. Wrapping up the day, Dr. Mike North of Discovery Channel’s “Prototype This!” will deliver the closing keynote, after which awards will be given for the “Most Likely to Succeed” in each of the six presenting categories. Presenters will be available to showcase their companies and products in the exhibition hall, which is open for networking, deal making, and interviews between presentations.

“We are so excited to be announcing our game, Questalot, at such a prestigious event right in the center of this innovation hotbed!” – Matt Fisher, Co-Founder, Gamemaster
