The Garage Special – Q&A with Paul Graham
The Garage is a fusion of ideas, borrowing from the Homebrew Computer Club meets of California that gave rise to Apple Computers and OpenCoffee and SeedCamp events of Europe.
For more information on what The Garage is, please see the full description page.
What’s so special about this Garage?
On the 4th December 2007, Imperial Entrepreneurs will host what is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and high-profile events in our illustrious past – Paul Graham is our guest at The Garage Special – Q & A with Paul Graham.
Paul co-developed Viaweb, a programming platform that makes it easy for small and medium-sized businesses to make their own online shop – in 1998, Viaweb was sold to Yahoo! for shares valued at the time at $49.6 million.
Imperial College’s Computing Department is recognised as the Best in Europe and fourth in the world – Imperial Entrepreneurs is therefore hugely privileged to have someone as dignified as Paul come speak for us at the centre of computing excellence in Europe, on his visit to the UK from California.
This is an event not to be missed!
I’m interested, what now?
Places are limited to 150 people and demand is expected to be huge.
The format of the event will be similar to other Garages – the emphasis this time will be primarily on the audience being able to ask Paul questions on just about everything and anything!
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to events@imperialentrepreneurs.com with “Paul Graham Garage” in the subject line.
