Dave McClure Talks About The Elephant in the Room

Keynote at July 21 CTO Roundtable Looks at Asian Tech Development and Where Outsourcing Fits In

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2009 -- "With cash tight, and innovators determined to push forward with product development, outsourcing is an obvious option that isn't discussed openly enough," says Dave McClure, self-proclaimed geek and the force behind Startonomics, Startup2Startup, Founders Fund, and Geeks on a Plane.

Just back from his tech tour of China and Japan, McClure is fired up and ready to talk about the elephant in the room. "I have a fresh view of the talent and business activities going on in China and Japan, and I want to use that to take an honest look at how young tech companies should look to build out their resources."

I have a fresh view of the talent and business activities going on in China and Japan, and I want to use that to take an honest look at how young tech companies should look to build out their resources.

Since 1994, we have been in the business of product co-creation. Silicon Valley is where most of the world's great applications are conceived. I want to invite Valley executives to consider that China-based resources can accelerate time to market, minimize cost, and open up Asian markets for their products.

Dinner will follow the panel discussion, and each table has a moderator with direct experience in cross-border tech development - executives from Google, Adobe, and Institute for the Future who will keep conversations going among attendees. Details and registration, limited to 48, are at http://morewithless.eventbrite.com.

The roundtable dinner is organized by The China Business Network - which will compile the evening's conversation into a white paper. The evening's sponsor is Symbio, an advanced software and engineering company with research and implementation centers in Greater China and Northern Europe.

Randy Lee, General Manager for Symbio says, "Since 1994, we have been in the business of product co-creation. Silicon Valley is where most of the world's great applications are conceived. I want to invite Valley executives to consider that China-based resources can accelerate time to market, minimize cost, and open up Asian markets for their products."
