The Google of People Search: A Lunch, Learn, and Network Session with the co-founders of Spock

A Wharton Entreprenuers' Web 2.0 Success Story

Co-founded by Jaideep Singh and Jay Bhatti (both WG '02), Spock has been recognized by Tim O'Reilly, originator of the term Web 2.0 as one of the hottest companies in this space. Spock has already been oversubscribed for its people search beta program and has garnered main stage attention at the recent Web 2.0 Expo, TieCon, and upcoming Supernova. As Spock's co-founders, Jaideep and Jay have earned a coveted place among Wharton alumni who have successfully started companies in Silicon Valley spreading the innovative spirit that started with Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. During this candid discussion, Jaideep and Jay will share an entrepreneur's perspective geared towards Wharton grads looking to trade their corporate badge for life in the garage.

Join Jaideep and Jay over an interactive lunch, learn, and networking session addressing:
  • How did the foundation for Spock come about in terms of the concept?
  • What were some of the lessons learned when building the right team?
  • Mistakes made when raising seed and venture capital?
  • How did they overcome the fear of losing job security, and how did they mitigate career risk?
  • What if you fail? Is Silicon Valley still forgiving toward failure?
  • Are there lessons to be learned from Wharton alumni who ventured out into startup land and returned to lower-risk jobs?
