The stock market is rising, but so is unemployment and home foreclosure. Tech stocks are going up, but credit is still hard to get. Venture capitalists are investing, but the terms can be steep. Money is tight, but that means tighter controls and better management. Some say this is the worst time to start a company – other say it’s the best.

This panel of both early- and later-stage startup founders and executives from a range of sectors including collaboration, games, social media marketing, object recognition and video search, and next-gen blogging, will talk about their experiences in starting a business in this environment. What factors are most responsible for economic success? What are the biggest obstacles they are overcoming and how are they doing it? What advice do they have for tomorrow's entrepreneurs?

Join us for the Club’s annual look at what it takes to build a successful startup moderated by one of the Club's most popular moderators--the provocative Guy Kawasaki.
