RAID THE FRIDGE: Sharing

What is entrepreneurship in the "sharing economy?"

If you're keen to learn more, join us on March 30th and listen to Ted Lad, Ph.D., a Professor and Entrepreneur: he will talk about the economics, strategy, and technology of the sharing economy and its long-term impact on micro-economic and social systems.

Also, we have another cool reason for you to join us this month: we're turning five!

Yep, from an MVP (this was Startup Weekend Manila in October 2011) to a pitch deck presented to the Globe board, we were incorporated in March 2012. Today, Kickstart Ventures is a team of eight, manages two investments funds, and has 31 companies in our investment portfolio.

So come over and help us empty our fridge --- we're thrilled to celebrate this milestone, and it would be awesome to celebrate it with you!

See you,
The Kickstart Team
