HEADLINER EVENT: Meet Pinterest Designer Sahil Lavingia


START YOUR EVENING WITH US
Join us this Saturday for a moderated conversation and audience Q&A
with Pinterest designer, Sahil Lavingia, who will be visiting Chicago
from Silicon Valley.

Pinterest is the third most-popular social network after Facebook and
Twitter with nearly 30 million unique users. Lavingia, who designed the
sizzling-hot virtual pinboard when he was only 18, (he's now 19), is
currently focusing his talents onto another project. Venture firms just
gave him $8 million to start his own company -- Gumroad -- an
innovative social shopping and e-commerce startup.

LOOKING FOR FUNDING?
What do VCs look for when deciding who, or what type of startup, to
fund? Get tips from Michael Sheng, of OCA Ventures, a venture capital
firm focused on investing in companies with dramatic growth potential.

Join Chicago Venture Media at TechNexus for an evening of learning,
inspiration, and networking. Food and beverages will be served.

TV ALERT: 8:30AM - Watch a live preview of Sahil on Saturday morning
(6/30) on ABC7 Chicago. Then come meet him later that evening at
TechNexus. See you then!
