women 2.0 is an organization here in silicon valley that is aimed at promoting entrepreneurship amongst women in technology. last year, they ran a wonderful and sold out event called Pitch Night which included a 30 minute meeting with Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital for the winning team. for those of you not in the tech field, let me say, thats like giving a junior golfer a private lesson by tiger woods. very cool.
this year, they are doing it again and i will be helping out by speaking at one of their pre-pitch night events called “meet the CEOs”. it should be fun and i am glad to help out at any event that gets more women into this field.
i am trying to learn more about ad networks in Asia to see if there is more to be gained from using local networks rather than relying up on google’s firm hold on ad sales. i’ve come across some local networks in SE Asia, like advertlets and others, but i wonder how they stack up next to google in terms of rates, etc. anyone with any information related to this or any advice, please contact me - i’m all ears!
