Come spend the evening with Startup Grind and True Digital Park as we welcome and chat with Kamran Elahian, who co-founded 10 tech companies, spectacularly exited from 4, experienced (and even embraced) equally spectacular failures, and then parlayed success in the entrepreneurial world into a 2-decade career as a philanthropist before pursuing his current calling as a global innovation catalyst.

About this event

We've all heard the founders' failure stories, the founders' success stories, and even the founders' SERIAL success stories, but what about the stories that combine all of those, from failure, to success, to failure AGAIN, and then to a string of successes? What stories await us from someone like Kamran Elahian, who co-founded 10 tech companies, spectacularly exited from 4, and experienced (and even embraced) equally spectacular failures? What kind of stories will inspire us from someone like Kamran, who parlayed phenomenal success in the entrepreneurial world into a 2-decade career as a global philanthropist striving to give young aspirants everywhere the same access to opportunity that he had? What call to action will Kamran sound that will help us elevate Thailand's startup, technology and innovation ecosystem, and connect us to likeminded ecosystems around the world? Come spend the evening with Startup Grind and True Digital Park as we welcome and chat with philanthropist and innovation catalyst, Kamran Elahian.
