Description

Albert Wenger is a partner at Union Square Ventures (USV), a New York-based early stage VC firm focused on investing in disruptive networks. USV portfolio companies include: Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, Etsy, Kickstarter, Wattpad, Kik and Shapeways.

Before joining USV, Albert was the president of del.icio.us through the company’s sale to Yahoo. He previously founded or co-founded five companies, including a management consulting firm (in Germany), a hosted data analytics company, a technology subsidiary for Telebanc (now E*Tradebank), an early stage investment firm, and most recently (with his wife), DailyLit, a service for reading books by email or RSS. His wife is also the co-founder of Ziggeo.

Albert is on the Board of: Edmodo, Shapeways, Heyzap, Twillio, Foursquare, AMEE, Covestor, 10gen, Wattpad, Firebase, Sift Science and Tumblr (prior to its sale to Yahoo). Albert graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College in economics and computer science, and holds a Ph.D. in Information Technology from MIT.

Format

William Mougayar, founder of Startup Management will interview Albert on stage, and there will be a Q&A period with the audience. We will talk Network Effects, the changing landscape in venture capital, advice to entrepreneurs, government and technology, privacy and security, raising money from U.S. VCs, and anything you'll be asking him. This is a unique event, not to be missed by any one involved in a Tech Startup or ecosystem.

Sponsorship

This event is organized by Startup Management and hosted by OneEleven. It was made possible due to the generous patronage of Wattpad, Sponsorship, of OMERS Ventures, and Support of Ryerson Futures.
