Hi, I’m Joel Toledano. I was invited to speak on a panel at Caltech last month called Opportunities for Innovators: Venturing in Online Search, Advertising & Sales last month and met many great entrepreneurs at the event.
As these things sometimes go, the topic was perfectly timed in light of several recent acquisitions in the search arena (Brainboost acquired by Answers.com and Delicious acquired by Yahoo!, to name just two in the last few weeks) and the heightened media coverage of search acquisitions in general.
I gave a presentation on how to properly position your company for a commercial partnership with a large company such as Yahoo!, which is often a great way for a small company to build their business. Several of you asked for a copy of the presentation, so here it is — hopefully you enjoyed the panel discussion and the presentation’s advice is helpful. Look forward to seeing you at the next panel!

This is a very interesting presentation – your thoughts are thoughtful and insightful. Thanks for posting this.
I have so many ideas regarding to many products to improve sales and advancement against competitor like in terms of packaging or new products that i see it very saleable or improvement to a certain product existing that can boost the sales.
How ,where, who shall i tell it too.
You can send to me any problem that you think i can share my ideas. No charge at all.
My motto is it is better to share my ideas that could help others than bring it with me that no one hear it.
Hi francis,
i’m a founder of a fresh start-up, launch a beta software named Deskloops. We are surely hungry for great ideas :) I’ll love to hear some.

I tried emailing the address in the powerpoint, toledano@yahoo-inc.com, but it didn’t work. What’s a better address?
In the presentation you are mentionning self service inquiries for Dennis Buscheim: what exactly do you mean by self service activity in Yahoo Search?
Thanks
