Event Description

Each year VLAB sets out to tap the minds of the most innovative emerging young entrepreneurs. And while Gen X took to redefining online experiences such as search (Google, Yahoo) and ecommerce (Amazon, Ebay), a new generation of entrepreneurs is now coming into their own. The Millennials, as the Gen Y are called, are bold, adventurous and ready to re-envision the future that one app, wearable device, and social media share at a time. This year’s “Young Entrepreneurs” will feature startups with founders born in the 1980s and 1990s vying for an opportunity to create their own niche in Silicon Valley.

Although all of them younger than the age of 30, all are accomplished, confident, and incredibly collaborative. They are poised to impact the world, now, and in the years to come.

Our panel of Young Entrepreneurs include:

	Jonathan Cain President, Thiel Foundation Jonathan Cain is president of the Thiel Foundation, which promotes science and liberty across the globe. He is co-founder of the 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellowship, which identifies and supports young tech visionaries in fields as diverse as robotics, biotech, education, communications, and energy.
	Eric Migicovsky CEO and Founder Pebble Watch Smart watch and crowdfunding wonder…his prototype of a sleek watch was initially turned down by 10+ Silicon Valley VC’s; yet, he raised a record $7.8M on Kickstarter in only 3 weeks.
