Entrepreneurial
Opportunities
in Entertainment Technology
This session of the Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum is designed
specifically to address the role that small and emerging entrepreneurial
ventures can play in supplying technology for the entertainment
industry. Technology is breaking down some of the power of
the incumbent aggregators and businesses, disrupting existing
business models. Entrepreneurs are needed to augment the innovations
being introduced by the large, mature incumbents, who can
compete effectively on agility and bring a fresh approach
to today's content creation and distribution businesses.
Our keynote speaker is Warren N. Lieberfarb, former head
of Warner Home Video, and currently chairman of a venture
that seeks to make video-on-demand over the internet a reality.
At Warner Bros, Lieberfarb was responsible for the creation,
development and commercialization of the DVD, which has now
become the dominant method for distribution of motion picture
and video content. Next, our panel of entrepreneurs, entertainment
industry experts, and financiers will help you flesh out the
opportunities to exploit and pitfalls to avoid in bringing
a new entertainment technology to market.

Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP, is corporate and securities
boutique law firm possessing the technical excellence that

strategic partner to our clients, to understand their business
needs and develop innovative legal strategies to help them
achieve their business goals. We are uniquely suited to add
strategic value as a result of our broad and extensive experience
representing companies from start-up through liquidity in
complex public transactions. All of our attorneys have extensive
experience as a single team representing both public companies
in complex transactions, and developmental stage/emerging
growth companies at every stage of their evolutionary path.
