Hatchcast Extra — Innovate State: Technology & Emerging Trends, ft. Christopher Golec

The Hatchcast

After graduating from Michigan State University in 1987, Chris Golec went on to start multiple software companies in Silicon Valley valued at more than $2 billion. Most recently, he founded and led Demandbase as CEO, pioneering the Account-Based Marketing category (“ABM”) over the past 15 years. This feat earned him Top CEO and Marketing Technology executive awards from multiple leading industry organizations. In 2016, Glassdoor named his company in their Top 10 Places to Work in the United States out of 500,000 companies. Today, Chris actively advises several software startups in the B2B sector and resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
About Innovate State
The Innovate State Speaker Series brings both emerging and accomplished Spartans back to campus for a fireside chat-style interview. These 60-minute sessions offer the chance for guests to share their perspectives on a wide array of topics like innovation, startup life, investments, and career paths. These are stories of success, stories of failures, and stories of uncommon will—and you do not want to miss them.
Innovate State is hosted and managed by The Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation. The events are free and start at 6 p.m. in the Larry & Teresa Gaynor Entrepreneurship Lab (lower level of the Minskoff Pavilion). Early registration is highly encouraged.
Please join us for Innovate State: Technology & Emerging Trends on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, at 6 p.m. Every 2021–2022 Innovate State is a hybrid event! Register & attend in person in the Entrepreneurship Lab or watch via livestream on our Vimeo channel.
