About this event

Our upcoming Startup Grind San Jose fireside chat is hosting Chris Yeh, founding General Partner at Blitzscaling Ventures.

Chris is the co-author, with Reid Hoffman, of Blitzscaling, the influential book about prioritizing speed over efficiency to build category-defining companies. He also co-authored the New York Times bestseller The Alliance and has founded, advised, or invested in more than 100 technology startups.

Nearly a decade after Blitzscaling was published, we will revisit its biggest ideas. What still holds true? What has changed? When should founders prioritize speed over efficiency, and how is AI changing the way companies scale?

Join us on Wednesday, October 28, at CreaTV San Jose from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be served. Seats are limited, so book yours now.

Always remember: We believe in making friends, not contacts. We believe in giving first, not taking. We believe in helping others before helping yourself.
