Disrupt #11: Hacker lessons from the Valley
Event Information
Description
Following up on Week In Review's focus on hackathons, the latest DNA-TeAM Disrupt has David E Weekly as our panellist. Currently with Facebook, as a result of an "acqui-hire" by Facebook of his company Gaston Labs this past March, Weekly is working on the exciting Internet.org project.
Yes, that current passion of Mark Zuckerberg's. But Weekly himself comes with impressive pedigree. A Stanford graduate, Weekly is deeply ingrained in the Silicon Valley culture of "pay it forward" and is generous with his time in sharing experiences, offering ideas to starups.
He is also the founder of Mexican.vc in November 2010, the Silicon Valley's first seed program for Mexican-based Internet startups. He served as General Partner for the fund. In August 2012, the firm was merged into 500 Startups.
