Startups with No Revenue Model dominate TechCrunch50 Event in San Francisco in 2009

It feels like it is 1999 again! The TechCrunch 50 event was held this week (September 14-15) at the San Francisco Design Center. It promised to be the biggest tech event of the year.

I also invite local Cupertino residents, groups, and supporters to send to me their thoughts and contribute position papers/articles on why they support their candidates and what issues they believe are the most pressing for our wonderful and diverse city. I will attempt to post these articles on the Cupertino Daily with minimal edit to provide the best clarity of the author’s voice.
