The Zenn of Skype

Last night I went to the launch event of Vnet at GoldmanSachs with Richard, Jockum and Jeanette. Vnet was "formed as a not-for profit partnership by the MIT Enterprise Forum, Cambridge University Entrepreneurs, London Business School Entrepreneurship Club and Oxford University Science Enterprise Centre."

Niklas Zennström of Skype was the main attraction, delivering a presentation on what they are doing, why etc. Nothing remarkable or new was said. Then again, it wasn't the type of event where eye poping news is announced.

The networking was pretty good, it's always nice to meet people "in the industry", especially from the investment and financial part of it as I usually mostly meet with biz dev and dev people.

It'll be interesting to see how Vnet develops. London desperately needs good, solid tech biz networking events. Fingers Xed that Vnet delivers.
