Hi,
I hope this is a typo. This event can’t be held on 12:00am. Please inform when is the correct event time because I am interested to attend.
Thank you,
Darlene
What a fantastic surprise to see that Steve is coming to speak at a SVF eevent! When he was first starting up Cardica in Menlo Park, I was working next door at another early stage medical device start-up (Epicardia then renamed Epicor Medical). I was very interested in Steve’s way of running a business, and found out after it was too late the he was a believer… I’ve been wanting to talk to him ever since, and now I’ll have that opportunity!
As long as my hectic schedule allows for it, I’ll definitely be there!
