SDForum Emerging Technology SIG

So we have an awesome talk lined up for the Emerging Tech SIG tomorrow night. Chris Hibbert is going to talk about prediction markets and Zocalo, his open source framework for prediction markets.

I’m fascinated by that.

But, to borrow a phrase from the WWDC, there’s more.

A large portion of the time that Chris has spent working on Zocalo was funded by Commercenet.

Commercenet does other fascinating stuff too. For example, they’re intimately involved with Microformats.

So I asked Rohit Khare, the director of Commercenet’s Labs, to give a brief overview of Commercenet’s investments and investment philosophy. He agreed to spend 15 or 20 minutes at the end and then take questions.
