I didn't attend, but I did watch some webcasts. The moderator (Paul Carr?) was terribly unprepared and appeared unprofessional. He mis-pronounced company names, derided sponsors and, on a couple of occasions, introduced presenting startups with "I have no idea what their product is, but here is XYZ". As a viewer, it appeared disrespectful so I can only imagine how it would be if I was presenting or was a sponsor - not because I cannot condone unprofessionalism, but because there are other more effective ways I could use my time and money.
From far away, and I might be wrong, TC Disrupt feels like an old-boys-club gathering where startups are the entertainment.
- sfoguy 15y ago> TC Disrupt feels like an old-boys-club gathering where startups are the entertainment. Very good description. It is a fun event, but we got 0 leads out of it. - Our startup IS successful and we are close to break even, so the idea itself is ok.
