Envisioning Middlebury: Vermont, Silicon Valley and the Future

Google Ventures founder and CEO, and Middlebury alum Bill Maris (‘97) has had quite an unpredictable career.  Currently he invests in startups at the epicenter of science, technology, and medicine.  He oversees $2.4B in capital, and has funded more than 300 companies in the GV portfolio, including Uber, Slack and Nest. In this talk, he’ll share his perspective on how he went from Vermont to Silicon Valley, and how entrepreneurs and innovation will shape our future. 

 Envisioning Middlebury is a yearlong conversation that explores the future of learning and who we are as a community.  This talk - the first in the Envisioning Middlebury Speakers Series - will provoke, challenge, and inspire us as we engage in these conversations.  Join the conversation, go/envisionmiddlebury or #envisionMiddlebury on social media.
