Free pizza and screening of "Something Ventured," a great 
documentary especially if you're interested in 
entrepreneurship!

Monday, May 9th

Rocky 3: 7 pm-9pm

-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------

Sit back, eat pizza, and enjoy a screening of "Something 
Ventured." Doors will open at 6:45.


SOMETHING VENTURED tells the story of the creation of an 
industry that went on to become the single greatest engine 
of innovation and economic growth in the 20th century. It 
is told by the visionary risk-takers who dared to make it 
happen: Tom Perkins, Don Valentine, Arthur Rock, Dick 
Kramlich and others. The film also includes finest 
entrepreneurs sharing how they worked with these venture 
capitalists to grow world-class companies like Intel, 
Apple, Cisco, Atari, Genentech, Tandem and others.

Beginning in the late 1950's, this small group of high 
rollers fostered a one-of-a-kind business culture that 
encouraged extraordinary risk and made possible 
unprecedented rewards. They laid the groundwork for 
America's start-up economy, providing not just the working 
capital but the guidance to allow seedling companies to 
reach their full potential. Our lives would be 
dramatically different without the contributions that 
these venture capitalists made to the creation of PCs, the 
Internet and life-saving drugs.
