Whether Zynga is really worth $10 billion seems not to have been the main topic of dinner conservation when President Obama met with technology executives on Thursday night.
“The president specifically discussed his proposals to invest in research and development and expand incentives for companies to grow and hire, along with his goal of doubling exports over five years to support millions of American jobs,” Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, said in a statement to Bloomberg News.
The dinner, which Bloomberg says lasted two hours, was held at the Woodside, Calif., home of John Doerr, the venture capitalist and a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
Those scheduled to attend, according to the Caucus, included Steve Jobs of Apple, Eric E. Schmidt of Google, Dick Costolo of Twitter and Steve Westly of the Westly Group, as well as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.
The Caucus notes that Mr. Doerr has previously been a host for Democratic politicians visiting Silicon Valley, including an event for former Vice President Al Gore.
