Join Tim Draper and 200+ of the region’s top entrepreneurs and executives at this month’s meeting at TechCoire as he makes a bold call to entrepreneurs to change the world. Tim will talk about areas of opportunity just waiting for entrepreneurial innovation, and how and why now is the time to tap into these untapped potential.

Tim is the legendary investor who has hit several stunning homeruns including such stellar companies such as Hotmail, Baidu and Skype – all of whom have had wildly successful exits. A truly unique personality, Tim has been referred to as the modern-day pied piper, and has the singular distinction of once donning a spandex Captain America suit for a national magazine. 

Tim is a true standout in his mastery of the art of the deal making.  His negotiation skills are legendary and employ techniques that often test the limits of the acquirer’s tolerances while still allowing Tim to receive top prices for his portfolio companies.

Come and listen to this legendary investor as he shares his experiences, wisdom and insights into what he sees as the “next big thing.”
