I'll be at Where 2.0 this week, speaking at 1:45pm on Wednesday about "What's Hot and What's Not on the Geoweb" from a VC perspective - I will also cover GeoCar, GeoVoice and GeoMobile.
As an investor, I think Where 2.0 has emerged as an interesting forum because it brings together talented geoweb developers and mind bending enabling technology companies. What attracts me to the Geoweb is not only the huge momentum toward geo-enabling almost every web service but also the potential disruption that this could cause to a number of existing industries, such as telecom (directory assistance), publishing (local guides, maps, etc.), radio (advertising, content), travel, retail, automotive etc in the US and other geographies.
We are investors in two companies in this space Inrix and Where.com. as well as a number of other companies in the mobile and media spaces that could be of great value to developers for distribution, content and enabling technology.
Join me for my talk and let me know what you think.
Update: I'm adding here the slides from my presentation today. I will give more detailed voiceover during my talk.
