Find out at one of the Churchill Club’s most anticipated events of the year: the 15th Annual Top 10 Tech Trends debate. Be sure to get your seat as five luminaries from Forbes’ 2013 Midas List of the world’s most successful venture capitalists predict and evaluate their exciting top 10 trends. And our usual live audience of Silicon Valley’s best and brightest—all with opinions of your own—will be asked to agree or disagree. Meet our pundits: More than 20 of David Cowan's portfolio firms have gone public. In 2011 he added LinkedIn to that list (market cap: $18.9 billion). His 2012 IPOs: LifeLock and Eloqua, in which he assisted partner Byron Deeter. He also invested in Tripwire, acquired in 2011 by Via Holdings for $210 million, and Playdom in 2010, sold to Disney for $563 million. Venky Ganesan invested in the 2007 second round in Palo Alto Networks, which had one of the largest IPOs of 2012 (market cap: $3.8 billion). Ganesan's other exits include Amobee, which was acquired by SingTel in 2012 for $321 million, and Jajah, which was acquired by Telefonica in 2009 for $207 million. His other investments include Redfin, Virident and oDesk. An early backer of Tesla, Steve Jurvetson has a soft spot for Elon Musk-led companies and called the billionaire company creator "a true hero of the American Dream." Jurvetson is also an investor and board member at Musk's SpaceX. Recent investments include Agradis, an agricultural biotech company, and Gen9, a gene synthesis company. Alfred Lin was chairman & COO of Zappos.com, which was acquired for $1.2 billion by Amazon.com. Lin invested early in Zappos, as well as in OpenTable (IPO 2009), Ask Jeeves (acquired by IAC) and Tellme (acquired by Microsoft). He represents Sequoia on the boards of Achievers, Airbnb, Houzz, and others. He personally invested in Uber and Flipboard. George Zachary reaped a massive exit for CRV when Microsoft acquired enterprise social network Yammer in June 2012 for $1.2 billion. Zachary was the first investor in the 2009 Series A. He also was an early investor in Twitter in 2007. Other previous exits include Jambool (sold to Google), Metaplace (sold to Playdom, which sold to Disney), and Shutterfly, which went public in 2006.
