Before the conference started (at 1pm today) the NVCA organized a “press roundtable” where several Colorado venture capitalists, out of state VCs, and the press talked about the venture capital market in Colorado.

Here are the questions/topics discussed, in case you want to jump around. 5:00 - What does Colorado have to offer from a venture capital perspective? 8:45 - Where do Colorado companies get “serious capital”?

These services collect an awful lot of information about the consumers attention and intention. At the same time, I've recently met several folks who are more "traditional" web marketing gurus. All of this made me wonder if attention based marketing is gaining ground and where it's headed. So I gathered some local experts, and we hashed over the topic.
