About this event

Brian Wong is the 26­year­old co­founder and CEO of Kiip. Kiip (pronounced “keep”) is a mobile

consumer engagement platform that advertises in “moments” in 10,000 apps. Kiip is credited

with the creation of “moments marketing”, which involves brands marketing to consumers in the

right timing and mindset, based on their mobile behaviors. Backed by Verizon Ventures,

American Express Ventures, US Cellular, Interpublic Group, North Atlantic Capital, Hummer

Winblad, Relay Ventures, True Ventures, and others, the company has raised over $35 million in

funding to date.


Kiip has been recognized by Forbes as one of the “4 Hot Online Ad Companies to Put on Your

Watch List,” named on the Dow Jones “FasTech50” and is listed on Fast Company’s “50 Most

Innovative Companies in the World.” Once the youngest person to ever receive venture capital

funding, Brian received his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia at

age 18, after skipping four K­12 grades.

Brian has been recognized with many awards for his accomplishments and leadership,

including:

● Forbes’ “30 under 30” for three years in a row, and then a judge for 2016

● Business Insider’s “Top 25 Under 25 in Silicon Valley,” “30 Under 30 in Advertising” and

“18 Most Important People in Mobile Advertising”

● AdAge's “Creativity Top 50”

Brian recently launched his first book, The Cheat Code, published by Crown Business / Penguin

Random House. The Cheat Code contains 71 bite­sized and virtually effortless shortcuts to get

a leg up on the competition, garner attention for creative thinkers and their ideas, and to

accelerate success. The book has been translated into Simplified Chinese and Arabic, and is

featured by Forbes, CNBC, Elle, The Telegraph, The Globe and Mail, and many more

publications around the world, and is quickly becoming the go­to book for entrepreneurial and

intrapreneurial advice for our generation.
