Andy is the co-founder of Circle. Circle is a modern community platform for creators and Andy is dedicated to building beautiful experiences and helping people find their tribe. Our whole platform runs on Circle, so this is a good one to watch if you want to do something similar.

In our chat, we tear down our six-figure launch plan, and discuss new trends in 2021.

Chandler is the Founder and CEO of Self-Publishing School and the author of six bestselling books. SPS is an online education platform for authors. For the past 3 years, it has been named one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the US. In our fireside chat, we discuss the future of (Self) Publishing.

Jesse is an international bestselling author and the Founder and CEO of Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press. His firm is known as the "Publisher for the Passionate." They've published over 100 books for passionate thinkers who aim to change the world.

Growth Summit Experts in Fundraising, Investing, and VC

Brad is the Managing Director of Foundry Group. He has helped raise over $1 billion in early-stage funding for startups, and written multiple bestsellers to guide founders through their journeys. In our chat, we talk about the current investment landscape for traditional early-stage VC, the importance of startup communities, and being prepared for when "purple" happens. This is a must-see, in my humble opinion.

Chris is VP of Partnerships and Corporate Development at Redbrick, the parent organization to Leadpages, Shift, Assembly, and Rebase. Redbrick has been named one of the Top 100 fastest growing companies in British Columbia. During our fireside chat, Chris and I discuss hot industries for 2021, the importance of community and education, and his predictions for the future of work.

Paul is a Partner at Pantera Capital, the largest institutional investor in digital currencies and blockchain technologies, with over $1 billion under management. Since joining the firm in 2014, he has executed over 100 investments. In our Growth Summit fireside chat, Paul and I discuss recent developments in blockchain tech, investing in crypto, and the role of personal brand as an investor.

Charles is a Partner at LaunchTeam and the Founder of Rarestone Capital. His firm has helped blockchain-enabled companies raise tens of millions of dollars in funding. Our chat covers a wide range of topics, including being a new parent while growing a business—during a pandemic. (We both have babies who are about 8 months old). Charlie and I have been through a lot together and we get pretty philosophical in this chat.

Andy is a Partner at Unusual Ventures, a seed-stage startup investment firm. He’s worked for tech giants like Facebook,Twitter, Quora, and Wealthfront, (where he eventually became President of the company.) In our chat, Andy tells stories from his childhood—working on his family's farm as a young boy, and the winding path to building a few of the most successful companies in the world.

Allen is the VP of Sales at StartEngine, an equity crowdfunding platform where everyday people can invest in top startups and early-stage companies. StartEngine is one of our featured sponsors at the event, and they are helping us with our Startup Awards competition. Allen and his team are always searching for new companies to raise money on their platform. Could you be one of them? In our chat, Allen and I go deep on the equity crowdfunding model, and why it can be a nice alternative or supplement to traditional fundraising.

David is Cofounder and Chairman of the Board at Techstars, the mentorship-driven, global startup accelerator. Combined, Techstars portfolio companies are valued at over $18 billion. I was in the first class of Techstars in 2007, so David and I have a fun discussion about the early days, and how much has changed over the past decade.
