Monte Jade Professional Mixer: The Road from Employee to Founder

Date: Tuesday, November 14 @ 6:30PM
Location: Orrick Law Offices, 1000 Marsh Road Menlo Park, CA 94025

About The Event
Stories of young Silicon Valley millionaires are popping up and startup frenzy is back again. Google’s recent acquisition of YouTube for $1.65B and BusinessWeek’s cover story on the “new brat pack of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs” have captured the imagination of young entrepreneurs itching to leave their corporate jobs. However, what does it really mean to transition from employee to founder of a company? What experiences and skills can help make that transition more successful? And how do you know when it’s time to start your own company?

Come and hear from our panel of speakers who have made the transition from corporate citizen to founder of their own company. Also, there will be other founders and members of the ecosystem who support founders available during the networking portion of the night who can share their experiences.

Hors d’oeuvres and drinks will be served at the event thanks to our sponsor Orrick, the premier legal advisor for emerging companies. (www.orrick.com/emerging)
