The Boomer Venture Summit is a great place to gain insights on entrepreneurial trends, and the types of start-up companies that appeal to Silicon Valley venture capitalists. The June 19 event is sponsored by the Executive Development Center at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business and Mary Furlong & Associates. A highlight of the event each year is the $10,000 Business Plan Competition, which is open to early-stage companies developing products and services for the 40+ market. Companies that make it to the final round are judged by a panel that includes Silicon Valley venture capitalists and other experts in the field, with one prize given for the best general business plan, and a second for the best health care-related plan. I’ll be serving as a screening judge this year.
