Gina Bianchini Founder & CEO at stealth startup	Esther Dyson EDventure	State of the Industry: Bubble Trouble? Are we in a bubble? How do you compete in a world of infinite supply?

Amish Jani Managing Director & Founder, FirstMark Capital	Laura Sachar General Partner, StarVest Partners	8 Cool Startups Pitch the Audience and Skeptical VCs Eight gutsy CEOs will take the stage to prove that they have what it takes to win big. They'll face grilling from the judging panel of VCs and industry vets.

Dana Kanze CEO, Moonit	Cyriac Roeding, Co-founder & CEO, Shopkick	Is Marketing Only for Companies with Crappy Products? Fred Wilson made the claim that companies with great product do not need marketing. Do you agree? How about PR and business development deals? Betsy Morgan of The Blaze will moderate.

David Pakman Partner, Venrock	David Ethridge Co-SVP, NYSE	Choose the Winning Startup Being on the judging panel means you have a knack for recognizing talent and knowing the qualities of a successful startup. Do you have what it takes? Cast your vote -- with the judges having eight votes, the audience is the tie-breaking ninth.
