How do you start and grow a business in China? What does the Chinese startup community look like? What opportunities do we have there and what can we learn from Chinese businesses? Todd spent 8 years in China and can answer all these questions plus more. He's passionate about mentoring dynamic teams and building companies.
Todd spent 8 years in China, the last 4.5 years of it running Chinaccelerator Asia’s top early-stage tech accelerator, for the fund SOSV.

He then spent 8 months in San Francisco running a co-working space and building out a post-accelerator growth program for funded startups entering the USA market.
