In the first six months of 2022, we curated conversations with gamechanging entrepreneurs to share company building insights; provided advice for founders navigating a changing and challenging market; marked milestones from our portfolio companies; and strengthened our communities as we were able to meet in person again. Even in challenging times we are ever inspired by entrepreneurs changing the way we live, work and play. Join us as we look back on the first half of 2022 and forward to all the innovation to come.

2021 Year in Review – Celebrating Founders & Conscious Leaders
2021 was powered by the pioneering spirit of entrepreneurs everywhere. They invented new ways for us to work, live and play, in a world that remained mostly remote.
Enterprise focused entrepreneurs made us even more productive in a multi-cloud, dev-centric and silicon-powered world. Consumer-focused ones allowed us to engage in authentic social connections and enabled us to transact our everyday lives from our fingertips. As the climate crisis escalated, human and planetary health focused entrepreneurs delivered on their promise to re-invent trillion dollar industries and to build a better world for our generation and the next ones. Entrepreneurs were amply rewarded by private and public market investors, with new unicorns being born every day. Amidst all this innovation, it has never been more important to remain conscious leaders who are committed to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion.
