Ask a question, win a place at a session with Idealab founder Bill Gross
Organised by Wavemaker Partners, with Tech in Asia as Official Media Partner.
No one knows more about building successful startups than Bill Gross. The founder, chairman and CEO of Idealab has started over a hundred companies since Idealab’s launch in 1996.
More than 10 of these were sold for US$100M+, and his top 5 companies – CitySearch, CarsDirect, GoTo, NetZero and Tickets.com – all went on to become billion-dollar successes.

This 12 November 2015, Wavemaker Partners will be hosting “20 Questions with Bill Gross”, an exclusive lunchtime panel for the local tech community and Wavemaker portfolio companies, moderated by the firm’s Managing Partner Paul Santos.
This is the second in a series of Wavemaker events which seek to “grow local roots and build global bridges”. Earlier in February this year, the firm hosted Tim Draper and the Draper Venture Network in Singapore.
Tech in Asia is the Official Media Partner for the event. 5 lucky startup founders from the Tech in Asia community stand a chance to win a place at the session, lunch included.

It’s an opportunity to network with one of the most innovative tech entrepreneurs of all time, and to ask him probing questions about what it takes to build a billion dollar business.
