WILLIAM HAMBRECHT TO RECEIVE LESTER CENTER LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD=20 William Hambrecht, the legendary investment banker who brought us Apple=20 Computer, Genentech, and the OpenIPO, is the 2001 recipient of the Lester= =20 Center Lifetime Achievement Award at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.= =20 The award will be presented by the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship &=20 Innovation at the UC Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum on Thursday, April 26, in= =20 Arthur Andersen Auditorium. Hambrecht is best known as the co-founder of the firm Hambrecht & Quist who= se=20 west-coast style investment banking helped launch some of Silicon Valley's= =20 greatest success stories. In 1981, the firm managed the initial public=20 offerings of Apple, Genentech, and People Express. By 1997, Hambrecht & Qui= st=20 had worked with over 700 companies, including Adobe Systems, Advanced Fiber= =20 Communications, Apollo Computer, Convergent Technologies, Evans & Sutherlan= d,=20 Read-Rite, Sybase, VLSI Technologies, and Xilinx.?=20 In 1996, Hambrecht & Quist managed the IPO of Boston Beer, maker of Samuel= =20 Adams Boston Lager, that inspired Hambrecht to brainstorm the possibility o= f=20 IPOs that are open to the public. Boston Beer CEO Jim Koch insisted on maki= ng=20 25 percent of the IPO shares available to his market, the people who drank= =20 his beer. The idea meant taking a significant portion of the shares away fr= om=20 institutional investors, the industry's mainstay. In addition, opening the= =20 IPO to individuals required shipping six-packs to the stores with little=20 forms attached that allowed consumers to make a bid to buy a piece of Bosto= n=20 Beer. However, the new approach demonstrated its business potential when the $10= =20 million IPO in 1996 was oversubscribed by $30 million - all from individual= =20 investors. The question was how to streamline the process. Answer: the=20 Internet. In 1997, Bill Hambrecht decided to start a new firm WR Hambrecht + Co. that= =20 uses the Internet to create an open system for all investors -- from=20 individual consumers to the largest institutional investors -- to have equa= l=20 opportunities to make bids for IPO stocks, thus the name OpenIPO. OpenIPOs= =20 are not only open to small investors but are built on a Dutch auction model= =20 where the investors, not the investment bank, set the price.=20 WR Hambrecht + Co.'s most recent IPO included Peet's Coffee and Tea, a smal= l=20 Berkeley coffeehouse. Peet's was the 5th Internet-based public stock offeri= ng=20 led by WR Hambrecht & Co. in the past 3 years. In awarding the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Lester Center for=20 Entrepreneurship and Innovation is able to bring outstanding innovators and= =20 entrepreneurs to the Berkeley campus. The Lester Center hopes that this kin= d=20 of interaction among academics, students, and practitioners will foster=20 entrepreneurial success for individuals and the community as a whole. Previous winners of the Lester Center Lifetime Achievement Award include: = =20 +Gordon Moore, one of the original founders of Intel, in 2000;=20 +Arthur Rock, the original venture capitalist behind Silicon Valley's very= =20 first semiconductor company, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Intel, in 1999; a= nd=20 +Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni who founded Alza Corp. and a series of other biote= ch=20 companies, in 1998. SIX TEAMS ADVANCE TO FINAL ROUND OF UC BERKELEY BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION = =20 The Haas School of Business today announced the selection of six teams to= =20 compete in the final round of the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition. Th= e=20 finalist teams have developed ideas ranging from biotech to medical devices= =20 to software and wireless technology. They will compete for more than? $90,0= 00=20 in cash and prizes, including a $50,000 first prize. Over 65 venture capitalists, angel investors, and successful entrepreneurs= =20 served as judges and evaluated the submissions. Another 26 entrepreneurs,= =20 professors, and other professionals served as mentors to the teams that=20 qualified for the first round and helped the teams develop their plans. By bringing ventures led by UC Berkeley students and alumni in touch with= =20 Silicon Valley's community of entrepreneurs, VCs, and technology companies,= =20 the competition serves as a springboard for the university's most innovativ= e=20 ideas and technologies. The following six teams were selected by more than 65 venture capitalists t= o=20 advance to the final round of the competition:=20 +Aprotea=01v has developed a patent-pending biochip for parallel analysis o= f 100=20 to 10,000 protein samples.

Aprotea has=20 already won a prize for best management team in the Haas Social Venture=20 Business Plan Competition. Two more teams also made the MBA Jungle contest= =20 finals, one as an alternate and one as a competitor. Finally, one team, whi= ch=20 has asked to remain anonymous, was forced to drop out of the contest after= =20 the Executive Summary round after receiving substantial funding for its pla= n. Access to top venture capitalists and business leaders through the=20 competition may result in additional financing; to date, seven of last year= 's=20 teams have secured more than $95 million in funding. The competition will culminate on Wednesday, April 25, 2001, with a final= =20 public presentation of pitches from the six finalists and the announcement = of=20 the first, second, and third place winners, as well as the People's Choice= =20 award.

Seating is= =20 first-come, first-served.=20 In his talk, Dudley will discuss the outlook for the U.S. and global=20 economies and offer his assessment of whether the U.S. economy is likely to= =20 fall into recession now that the investment boom has gone bust.=20 "Bill Dudley is an extraordinarily perceptive analyst of the global economi= c=20 scene," says Professor Janet Yellen who will host the lecture. "He was one = of=20 the first forecasters to see that structural changes associated with the ne= w=20 economy had altered the nature of the business cycle.? He also recognized= =20 that the U.S. investment boom could go bust--that the 'Brave New Business= =20 Cycle' could have a dark side." Director of the U.S. Economic Research Group at Goldman, Sachs & Co. since= =20 October 1995, Dudley was named Managing Director in 1996.? He is responsibl= e=20 for the economic and interest rate forecasts for the US and also oversees t= he=20 Canadian economic research effort.?

Dudley received his Ph.D. from th= e=20 University of California, Berkeley in 1982. ROSE AND LYONS SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS AT THE ANNUAL FACULTY DEBATE Don't= =20 miss the chance to find out what two of the Haas School's most distinguishe= d=20 faculty, Andrew Rose and Richard Lyons, really think of each other's=20 professional accomplishments at the upcoming annual faculty debate.=20 Come to the Arthur Andersen Auditorium at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, April 27, an= d=20 bear witness to the carnage as Rose and Lyons debate, "Currency Unions in t= he=20 new Millennium: After Europe, are Asia and Latin America next? Should they= =20 be?" Past debates have had Rose and Lyons pounding on one another,=20 mercilessly. The contenders will be controlled only by the verbal barbs of= =20 the moderator, Prof. Janet Yellen.=20 In preparation of the fierce debate, the contenders submitted the following= =20 statements. ?"Some people believe that the earth is flat. Others believe= =20 that there is no link between smoking and lung cancer," says Rose, who is= =20 arguing in favor, "I'm not suggesting that Professor Lyons is an ivory-towe= r=20 theorist who's out of contact with reality ... but then again I'm not=20 suggesting that he isn't." To this, Prof. Lyons countered: "Professor Rose has really lost his mooring= s=20 on this one. It's just impossible to follow his logic on the topic. Fuzzy= =20 thinking. Very fuzzy." He added, "I'm not suggesting that Professor Rose's= =20 thinking is always fuzzy. Occasionally a clear-minded thought does arise.= =20 This is not one of those occasions." This event is sponsored by the Clausen Center for International Business an= d=20 Policy.
