We are delighted to host Glen De Vries for our first virtual Fireside Chat. Glen is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Medidata, the largest tech firm based out of New York City. Glen built Medidata from scratch, took it through multiple rounds of VC funding, a very successful IPO, and the largest acquisition in the Healthcare sector in 2019 for close to 6B dollars. Medidata plays a very critical role in the accelerated development of a vaccine for COVID-19, with almost every vaccine for COVID being developed on their path-breaking platform.
Glen also serves as a trustee of Carnegie Mellon University and recently authored a wonderful new book 'The Patient Equation', that takes you through The Precision Medicine Revolution in the Age of COVID-19 and Beyond. As you can see, Glen is a perfect example of a successful entrepreneur and as an entrepreneur, you can get valuable insight from Glen into all aspects of a startup. He is a very energetic and engaging speaker, so get ready with your questions on startups, technology, healthcare, COVID, and anything under the sun.
What can we learn from Glen?
What is Startup Grind: Startup Grind is a global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs. Our monthly fireside chat provides ample opportunities to connect with amazing startups and the people behind them, tap into a strong support network, form meaningful connections, and gain inspiration for the startup journey ahead.
This is a free event, but as we are getting into the season of giving, we also have donation tickets. All donations will go to two wonderful local non-profits/homeless shelters in our community who do great service which is even more important during this year due to COVID:
-Beth-El Center: https://bethelmilford.org/
-Liberty Community Services: https://www.libertycs.org/
