Join other founding teams for STIRR's first Startup Mixer of 2008.
STIRR Celebrates It's 3rd year with a twist on the FounderHacks series. This time we bring you two of the best early stage investors and a terrific founder for contrast in 'Deal Hacks'.
If you haven't joined us before, STIRR brings together founding teams of startups to connect and forge relationships. (This isn't a pitch session and please don't attend if your only goal is to find funding.) We feature great short-form lightening talks from notable founders, investors, and key thought leaders around the globe. This isn't a sit-down event.
Speaking at DealHacks:
Adeo Ressi, The Funded
Adeo is a serial entrepreneur. His most recent project The Funded still creates quite a stir on Sand Hill Road. Before The Funded, Adeo founded and sold casual gaming site Game Trust to RealNetworks. Adeo also serves on the board of the X Prize Foundation. More about The Funded and the 9 months of mystery after it's launch in this article from Wired.

business angel for over 3 years, Jeff launched his $12M seed fund at the
TechCrunch40 conference in Sept 2007. He has since invested in 18
startups in social media, communities, search and discovering, gaming
and advertising. A (too) frequent speaker at industry conferences, Jeff

Rob joined First Round Capital in 2006. Since joining he has led investments in companies including Mint.com, Xobni, and Get Satisfaction. Rob came to First Round Capital from Omidyar Network where he was their first venture investor. He led most of Omidyar Network's initial venture capital deals and later built and ran the technology investing group.
This event kicks off STIRR's 3rd year. We're celebrating by returning to the site that reignited the Bay Area demo+mixer scene back in early 2006: Bistro 412 (formerly F&A's). The venue has a beautiful back patio and we've reserved the whole space just for STIRR and we'll be feeding everyone as usual.
