This past Thursday our CEO, Janet Kosloff, joined other successful women entrepreneurs at the Women 2.0 Conference held in San Francisco.  The focus was technology, women and entrepreneurship looking at The Next Billion.

What do they meant by the next billion? They’re looking at the future we see today – the next billion consumers (women), the next billion markets (emerging markets) and the next billion products (from new startups).

During the conference InCrowd ran a real time social feed via RebelMouse.

Our goal was to capture the brainstorming and share the learnings. It was both amazing and enlightening to see the ideas that were being generated – at literally a non-stop pace.

Monitoring the social feed was very motivating; it made you want to be there in person. So many amazing insights were shared throughout the day that we decide to pull together a list of ideas, quotes and resources, or what you might call the diamonds of the day.

A few quotes from Paula Long the Co-Founder of EqualLogic (acquired by Dell)

  • “Customers don’t make mistakes, products do.”
  • “We will always make mistakes but lets keep making new ones, not the same ones over again.”
  • “You need to build a company that you want to be in for 10+ years; if you build a company simply to sell it, you will make the wrong choices.”
