CEO Summits at USV

Each year in May, USV hosts a CEO Summit for our portfolio network founders and CEOs.

Initially, we designed this day-long event similarly to what you might experience at a typical conference. It included a predefined agenda, packed with panel discussions, fireside chats, and presentations. While the summit did provide an opportunity for our CEOs to meet each other, interacting with each other was by no means the focus of the day.

The feedback we received was clear: Our CEOs wanted to spend less time passively listening and more time engaging. Preferably with each other.

Then Scott Heiferman, Meetup’s CEO, suggested something even more interesting–kick off the day with stories and lessons learned, opening up a safe space to share anything.
