Ever wonder why Southern California venture capitalists rarely, if ever, make it onto the Forbes Midas List of the best venture capitalists?

Jamie is currently also co-founder of March Capital Partners, in addition to running the summit. Snap hopefully will be one, or is one already, and CornerstoneOnDemand, and what Brian Lee has done.
I’m positive if CornerstoneOnDemand CEO Adam Miller’s speech during the last one is any indication of how he runs companies, you can be sure their conference will be just as well run. This week is a no-brainer on whether to attend or not.:) See you there!
