7 PM-close: Live DJ + networking. Keep the conversations going.
On stage:
Hussein Hallak, CEO, Next Decentrum. A multiple-exit founder who will share the Momentable story: how it brought 120,000 museum artworks and artifacts into Web3 on Flow, a blockchain built for consumer apps. Hussein built 22 companies across Syria, Dubai, and Vancouver. Some worked and won awards. Others were learning opportunities! He was the General Manager of Launch Academy, which has incubated more than 6,000 entrepreneurs, of which 300 have grown their startups to Seed and Series A stage and raised over $1.2 Billion in funding.
Mike Nabavi, six-time founder. He sold his first company, started in university, after growing it past 35 people. He drafted the business plan behind Guest-Tek's TSX IPO, consulted at Deloitte, ran a tech startup for a decade before exiting, and has since backed numerous startups. His payments venture LavaPay had a pipeline nearing $9M a month when its banks shut it down, which led to Omnieon, infrastructure for federated finance. Today he works as an interim or fractional executive for early-stage and owner-operated companies. Ask Mike anything, including what he got wrong.
Who should come: founders looking to raise, investors looking for deal flow, and operators and creators.
