New Up-and-Coming Start-Ups in Silicon Valley

Also in the New York Times, they report on the next wave of high tech start-ups in Silicon Valley that are doing well and driving version 2.0 of Silicon Valley.

Look very closely at the list of companies:

  • Google
  • Six Apart
  • LinkedIn
  • HP
  • Cisco
  • Vontu
  • Cassatt
  • Agile Software
  • eBay

I'm worried that if Scott and Jonathan aren't increasing Sun's compensation packages and benefits (especially health bennies) here, there will be a brain-drain away to these fun-sounding, up-and-coming start-ups with full parking lots, better potential (as seen by VCs), and better business models.

It will be a fight again to keep the best talent at the high tech companies here.
