The Naked Truth 2009: The Consumer Internet's Next Top Revenue Model
Times are tough. Let's party.
If we don't figure out how to make money from Internet consumers, Seattle's startup scene is going to get pretty grim. So Redfin & Madrona put together a panel of entrepreneurs from some of Seattle's funnest online consumer services -- Picnik, Animoto, UrbanSpoon -- to talk about how they make it work:
Since it's a Naked Truth event, you'll get the real deal: candor (that’s the “naked” part), facts & numbers not platitudes (that’s the “truth” part), from the people with their butts on the line, on a topic with practical value for other enterpreneurs. We've done an event for a couple of years running and it has always been a blowout, wtih angry mobs turned away at the door.
Thanks to Madrona, Fenwick & West & R.R. Donnelly the whole thing is free. For those of you who can't make it, BitGravity and Episodic are streaming the video, so be sure to give those folks some of your business too.
Attendance is limited to 400 people, so please add your name to our guest list now if you want to come. Details are below!
When: July 9, 2009, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. panel, 7:30 - 9:30 party

Redfin isn't making any money from the event, and all the speakers are donating their time, so thanks to everybody for pitching in to put this together. Hopefully it helps a lot of Seattle enterpreneurs build better businesses. Questions? Email matt (dot) goyer (at) redfin (dot) com.
