Synopsis

This week on the Bottom Line, Evan Davis is joined by a panel of top business guests including two of Silicon Valley's leading investors to discuss one of the most successful business clusters of them all and why it is that businesses tend to bunch up. They also explore the future of television - can it survive the downturn in advertising revenues and competition from the internet?

Evan is joined by Michael Moritz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, one of Silicon Valley’s leading venture capitalists; Dawn Airey, the chief executive of Channel 5, the UK television channel owned by RTL Group; and Reid Hoffman, co-Founder and Executive Chairman at LinkedIn and partner at venture capital firm Greylock.
