Dave McClure Is Coming To Startup Grind In Palo Alto (8/2)

May

2012

I’m kind of insanely pumped to announce that Dave McClure is coming to the Startup Grind stage in Palo Alto on August 2. Reserve your ticket here. Dave needs no introduction but here goes. Dave McClure is a venture capitalist & founding partner at 500 Startups, an internet startup seed fund and incubator program in Mountain View, CA.

He has been an investor in over 250 companies including Mint.com, Twilio, Wildfire Interactive, SendGrid, TaskRabbit, SlideShare, Mashery, CreditKarma, KISSmetrics, and MakerBot, among others. We use many of these to power our own company.

500 Startups has been killing it lately raising a new fund, being named as a Top-10 incubator by Forbes, and creating this hilarious video to prepare people for their impending Demo Day. See it below.

So make sure to pick up up of your tickets early because it’s going to be an insanely huge night with lots to talk about, and a great way to close out the summer. Special thanks to Vi Tran who really spearheaded this.

Also big thanks to Ring Central for sponsoring the event.
