Maveron Hosts First Annual Product Roundtable
By A.T. Trader, Venture Partner
We held our First Annual Maveron Product Roundtable in SF on Tuesday night. The event was an outrageous success! We hosted 25 CEOs, product leaders and entrepreneurs including Maveron’s own Danny Shader, Matt Sanchez, Paul Freedman, Rob Goldman and Adam Pritzker, plus other rock star entrepreneurs Wences Casares/Lemon, Pam Kramer/Twitter, Joe Green/Causes, Simon Rothman/eBay, Ethan Prater/Castlight Health, just to name a few.
The three hour program included a lively product discussion, drinks at Barrique and dinner in the office. Plus, I gave a short presentation about product lessons from Zynga that the group really enjoyed (it’s all about the data!). The conversations were lively and informative. Most importantly, we made a lot of great connections with and among our team, portfolio companies and new/old friends.
Huge props to Sarah who owned the event planning and logistics, Stephen for helping out at the event, and Andra for the invite. You make these events look easy, but we know how much work they are. Your commitment and attention to detail is terrific!
