[WS] Entrepreneurship Presentation and VC Pitch for the Mobile World Congress TOMORROW @ 8pm (151 Barrows)

Hello PBL!

Firstly, let me introduce myself.  I am Brian Wong, current Consulting Chair and previous Executive for PBL.  I’m here today, though, as Cofounder of a startup company I created: Spondevu.  Spondevu allows you to see real time events your friend networks are participating in all around you, such as people getting lunch in an hour, having a studying session at Moffit later in the day, and more!  We were recently selected to represent UC Berkeley at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, and will be presenting to a panel of Venture Capitalists, competing against a host of companies and schools from around the world at the end of this month.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 8pm in 151 Barrows (near the end of the Officer Meeting), I will be giving a presentation on Entrepreneurship and on what it takes to transform an idea into a real business.  Much of what I will be presenting will come from mentors, professors, and advisors that have helped me get to where I am today, including Jon Burgstone (pictured below), CEO and co-founder of Supplier Market, Ken Singer, CEO and co-founder of AppCentral, and many others.  Even if you don’t plan on going the entrepreneurial route, much of what I will be talking about is applicable to working for and having a successful business on all fronts.

Right afterward, Winston Hsu, another co-founder, and I will be presenting our exclusive VC pitch for Barcelona to you guys.  You’ll see how to pack the entirety of a business into just a few short minutes, and we’ll be open to questions afterward as well.  Plus, I think there just may be a prize given away for one lucky attendee.

On top of all that, we have just launched an exclusive beta version of Spondevu with a few select organizations (such as PBL, Berkeley Consulting, etc. [many committees have already been added!]).  At the conclusion of the presentation, if you have an iPhone or Android, we will let you into the Beta so you can see and join meetups happening all around you, such as the study session I’m in right now, or the Late Night trip eight of us took yesterday.

Too Long, Didn’t Read?

Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 8pm in 151 Barrows will be a Presentation on Entrepreneurship, Starting a Business, a VC Pitch and more!  Come check out the winning application for UC Berkeley being presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week!
