Jeff Clavier, who's invested in a long list of fast-growing Web 2.0 firms, said on a panel at the GigaOM Mobilize '08 conference whether he thought the turmoil on Wall Street would impact startups.

Here's Clavier's list of investments, which includes Tapulous, BrightRoll, UStream, Kongregate, Kaboodle, BuzzNet.
