How to Compete with the 800 Pound Gorilla

I attended the SVASE (Silicon Valley Academy of Startup Entrepreneurs) panel discussion last week on what happens when the 800lb gorilla (i.e. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple) competes in your space.

The panel featured valuable advice and observations from always smart Saad Khan from CMEA Capital (Jobvite, Luminate, etc), Jeff Clavier from SoftTech VC (Mint, UStream, etc) and Rich Skentra of Blekko (search who's investors include both CMEA and SoftTech).

Thanks to Chris Gill, President of SVASE, here's a few of interesting clips from the event:

One more thing...check out Blekko if you haven't already tried it.
