We're celebrating March Madness the only way we know how with a fireside chat in WeWork's Dugout Lounge with the leader in fantasy sports - DraftKings.
Basketball fanatics and startup enthusiasts - join us for a candid conversation with Paul Liberman, founder of DraftKings - a daily fantasy sports website where you can play against your friends and rivals for cash prizes and the right to talk trash.
Paul will share the story of how in 2011, along with two co-workers from Vistaprint, he formed DraftKings out of his spare bedroom and how by 2012 the company had grown so fast that the trio decided it was time to devote themselves full-time to DraftKings. Paul started this adventure as CTO and has since become COO as the company has grown into one of the leading companies in DFS.
Join us for conversation, networking and some St. Patrick's Day fun.
About the Speaker:
Paul Liberman’s claim-to-sports-fame is being named “best defensive player of the year” on his basketball team at age eleven. Paul has always been an engineer at heart. As a kid, his hobbies included computer programming and tinkering with technology. He has a superior sense of data, strategy and computer science and holds his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In early 2011 Paul, along with two co-workers from Vistaprint, formed DraftKings. Then, just a small operation working out of Paul’s spare bedroom, the company grew exponentially into 2012 and the trio decided it was time to devote themselves full-time to DraftKings. Paul started this adventure as CTO and has since become COO as the company has grown into one of the leading companies in DFS. In his free time Paul has enjoyed cycling and completed the Pan-Mass Challenge, a huge cycling event in Massachusetts, however this free time will soon be limited as his wife is pregnant with twins!
