Description:

Patrick Curry has been through it all in the world of startups: formations, fundings, pivots, acquisitions, fire sales, break ups, make ups, booms, and busts. In his personal style of humor and humility, Patrick will share some of the hardest lessons from his twenty-five year career of starting and sometimes selling companies. This session should be inspiring to professionals and entrepreneurs of every experience level as Patrick opens the vault, breaks out heartfelt stories, and pays tribute to the friends and mentors he's learned from and been inspired by along the way.
