SUMMARY:Fireside chat with Chris Gardner\, Early Stage Investor at Underscore VC
DESCRIPTION:Chris Gardner\, Partner at Underscore VC\, will join us for a fireside chat about all things early-stage investing: what they look for in a team\, the attributes of a great opportunity in a great market\, the kind of validation and traction that get investors excited and more. \nAbout Chris Gardner: \nChris is Underscore VC’s resident builder\, happiest when he’s hands-on with a project. At Underscore VC\, that means identifying and investing in uniquely qualified founders\, and then helping to build their company in any way needed: networker\, salesperson\, mentor\, coach\, psychotherapist\, even drinking buddy. \nHis tinkering and building extend to his personal life\, where you’ll find him getting hands-on in any manner of project. Car maintenance? He has a lift in his garage. Music? He’s recording an album in his barn studio. Cooking? His BBQ ribs are the stuff of legend. In short\, if he can get his hands on it\, he can master it (except golf; don’t ever ask Chris to play golf). \nThough he’s known as a FinTech entrepreneur\, Chris is a self-professed nerd and technology omnivore who\, prior to Underscore VC\, spent nearly three decades at companies focused on speech recognition\, video streaming\, mobile marketing\, mobile messaging\, e-billing\, and document management. His last five roles all resulted in exits that created good outcomes for employees and investors. \nMost recently\, Chris was an executive at PayPal and led their P2P\, PayPal Here\, and In-Store payments products after Paydiant\, the company he co-founded and built\, was acquired by PayPal in 2015. Prior to that\, Chris was CMO and head of products at ExtendMedia\, a video content delivery and commerce platform software company that was acquired by Cisco in 2010; SVP of Products and Marketing at m-Qube\, North America’s leading premium SMS mobile payments provider that was acquired by Verisign in 2006; and VP of Products and Marketing at edocs\, Inc.\, an e-billing\, payments\, and customer self-service company that was acquired by Siebel Systems in 2004. \nChris earned a BA in Communications from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst a really long time ago. \nThis event is part of the Entrepreneurial Speaker Series\, hosted by the Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts University. \n
