David Heinemeier Hansson at Startup School 08

My take: This guy is a riot and he makes a great great point. Where are the good Italian food placeson the web?

Mike Arrington at Startup School 08

My take: Really, you’re going to have technical difficulties at an event like this? Get your cake up Mike.

Paul Graham at Startup School 08

My take: This man is one of the clearest thinkers in the web start-up space. He gets it. He’s not the best speaker in the world but he is a phenomenal writer and everyone needs to listen to this man.

Paul Buchheit at Startup School 08

My take: Again these guys are hear because they are good entrepreneurs not because they are good speakers. Well worth the watch.

Greg McAdoo, Partner at Sequoia Capital, talks at Startup School 08

My take: He is a partner at Sequoia. You better listen. Also, he really knows how to listen to entrepreneurs. He was the first speaker to do a Q&A (I think).

Marc Andreessen at Startup School 08

My take: Maybe one of the most experiences speakers. Lived through the bubble and the burst and still stand as a successfull entrepreneurs in the web space.

Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com

My take: The guy started selling books online and now stores millions of companies data. There are plenty of companies that simply wouldn’t exist without Amazons data storage models. Brilliant.
