About this event

Matt Rutledge started Synapse Micro, a computer hardware distributor, in Dallas in 1994 at the age of 22 and grew the business to over 50 million in revenue over the following 10 years. In 2004, Matt invented the daily deal site with the launch of Woot.com, grew the business to millions of customers and hundreds of millions in revenue, and was acquired by Amazon.com in 2010.
