Mark your calendars and start your engines! The Fourth Annual Silicon Valley Open Doors (SVOD) will take place on November 20-21, 2008 at our usual venue, Computer History Museum.

SVOD is the only conference that assembles the largest audience of venture capitalists representing premier venture capital funds and brings them together with early stage companies created by entrepreneurs from Russia and other European countries.

Traditionally dedicated to the theme of building technology ventures from an idea to the market launch, and developing business partnership between entrepreneurs, investors and other business professionals in different countries, SVOD opens its doors even wider this year. This year’s conference will capitalize on unique arbitrage opportunities that exist today for the transatlantic flow of capital and ideas.
