You know, I worked there for a summer (I'm a college student) and after working at a couple other tech firms, I have to say it was an amazing environment and I really loved it. I'm not going to sit here and say they are perfect, but they're far from shitbags and there are many great people there.

What does it actually mean for a company to attend an event like this? I.E if Adreesen Horowitz is attending, that could be anything from all the partners being present to one associate just checking things out.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's, unless you or your friend is present at the event — large VCs / companies (a16z/FB) are less likely to send senior folks; on the other hand, smaller firms like Wanelo or Felicis Ventures could have founder / partner.

One unique thing about investment banks' conferences is they preserve 1-on-1 meeting rooms to connect startup founders to corp dev or investors. Ultimate purpose from Goldman is to seek out the next big M&A / IPO deals and be at the forefront to lead them.

There's going to be a metric shit ton of money at that event, it would be impossible/incredibly foolish of any company attending an event like this to leave without bags of the stuff.

Wow, what a list. So... if it's the "Private Internet Company Conference" what are companies like Facebook and eBay doing there?

dmor• 13 years ago

Probably looking for companies to buy.

The song 'Running with the Devil' comes to mind:

I'm at a loss of why associating ones company with Goldman Sachs is considered a good thing.
