Investor’s Choice honorees at the third annual Technologic Partners Internet Outlook
conference included:
Intellipost Corp. (BonusMail); Brightware; Commerce One; Critical Path; E-Stamp; Financial Engines; Flycast Communications; Internet Travel Network; NetCentives; and Vignette.
The companies were voted most likely to succeed in the multi-billion-dollar
arena of electronic commerce at the conference held in San Francisco last
week.
Internet Outlook, one of four conferences organized by Technologic Partners
this year, showcased 83 privately financed Internet companies. The firms
presented
their business plans to an audience of more than 550 venture capitalists,
money managers, investment bankers, and industry executives at the event.
“The goal was to provide an independent forum in which the best startups can
tell their stories, and to provide a timely context through speeches and
panels that will help investors evaluate those stories. The ten companies
chosen as the most likely to succeed have captured the imagination and respect
of both their corporate peers and the investment community,” said Richard A.
Shaffer, founder of Technologic.
The conference’s Internet Outlook Investors’ Choice Awards were based on
voting by the audience and recommendations from a panel of technology
investors that included: Gigi Brisson, partner at Attractor Investment
Management; Jeff Brody, general partner at Brentwood Venture Capital; Charles
H. Finnie, general partner, Volpe Brown Whelan & Co.; and Kathryn C. Gould,
general partner, Foundation Capital.
