Dear Members and Guests,
This month was marked by our annual cocktail party. The party was very successful and I would like to thank all of you who attended or helped in bringing it off. For more details on the party please see below.
As you all know the investment climate in the valley has changed dramatically since Silicom Ventures' inception three years ago. These days it is not enough for a company to have a great idea. Investors even in the seed valuation seek more mature companies with at least a working prototype and even prospects for revenue within very short period. Although the deal flow that Silicom Ventures receives is still very high our selection criteria have become more stringent. Since our aim is to bring only companies which have a good probability of raising money from our group and since the number of companies which fit this criterion is smaller, we may in the future bring fewer companies for presentation. To supplement company presentations we will have speakers who will address various relevant issues.
Yours sincerely,
Gadi
