I think tonight’s meeting showed JHTC is starting to get back to the level of community we had in 2003-2004. A terrific speaker in Eric Benhamou, 50+ people in the room and lots of small group conversations before and after the main event.
Eric gave an energizing hour long presentation title “Business for the Soul,” discussing the role of social action for corporations and how that translates into venture philosophy, using as a case study the terrific success the Israel Venture Network, which he chairs, has had in six short years. He then took questions from the group for 25 minutes.
As I announced at the beginning of the meeting, our next two meetings are already set:
- Sep. 12 – Ofer Ben-Shachar, A Pragmatic Serial Entrepreneur
- Nov. 14 – Barry Kramer and Candy Mirrer, Venture Capital and M&A for Startups
Thanks again to Fenwick & West for the use of their great conference space!
Here are a couple of photos, one of Eric and one with him and me:
