Tune into Valley View, coming up Nov 28 at 11 am Pacific Time! As always, we'll feature some new technology in our Elevator Pitch segment, where we ask companies to pitch us (as if we were in an elevator) and then face our judging committee. For this month's segment, we've got a couple of big data players: Kaggle and Clearstory, each with a unique approach to this incredibly interesting market. Finally, SugarSync, one of the early players in the personal cloud movement will talk about how they're evolving to take on fierce competitive forces.

We'll also have Ben Milne, CEO of online payments startup, Dwolla; Justin Kan, CEO of concierge service startup, Exec; Greg Sullivan, senior marketing manager for Microsoft's Windows Phone; and Dipti Vachani, VP and GM at Texas Instruments.

We've got other guests as well, and as usual, we'll feature a few companies in our Elevator Pitch segment, and we'll be giving away an Apple Mini iPad.
