Derek Andersen 2012-08-10T18:30:27+00:00

With the co-founder of Yammer speaking in SF in October, it's only fitting that we secure one of Yammer's early investors to speak in September. George Zachary, General Partner at Charles River Ventures will be joining us on the Startup Grind stage in San Francisco on September 6th. Reserve your seat today.

George has invested in companies like Shutterfly, Jambool, Twitter, Geni, and many more. He's also a staple at founder friendly events like TC Disrupt and Founders Institute Showcase where he known as a no bull, speak you mind kind of guy. Thrilled to get his take on the current VC climate and where things are headed.

Charles River Ventures raised a new $375MM fund earlier this year to continue to invest. They are investers in Millennial Media, Zendesk and Udacity among dozens of other companies, with a focus in Consumer & Mobile, Infrastructure, SAAS and Cloud. Come join us September 6th for a great event in San Francisco.
