Event in English

"
The world has fundamentally changed and will not go back to normal.

Virtual is replacing physical. The sudden withering of our ability to engage in the “real” world means exponential flowering of this virtual world. 

For technology entrepreneurs the greatest impact comes at these moments of the technological generational change and their ability to see, define and build the new paradigm."

While the world seems chaotic and scary, join us for a look at the big picture and how the breakdown of old systems open opportunities for those who can imagine and execute new paradigms. As an investor, advisor and "The Unicorn Whisperer" Zach thinks a lot about these dramatic changes and the role of open-minded and creative entreprenuers in shaping the future.
