Is Web3 eating the world?
Thursday 23 June 2022 from 8am to 9:30am
Web3 changes everything. How can startups and investors keep up? Join us for a special breakfast chat with Visiting Entrepreneur Maria Shen and some local startups pitching live.
In 2011 Marc Andreessen famously said that “software is eating the world”.
You might argue that Web3 is now eating the world, but many founders and investors haven’t caught up. What’s going to change about startups and investing over the next five years as a result of this renaissance?
Join an exclusive breakfast and fireside chat with expert guest straight from San Francisco, Maria Shen, Partner at Electric Capital. Maria is an NFT enthusiast, Web3 thought leader, founder at the cutting edge of Web3, and an investor in one of the most active Web3 venture capital firms in the world.
