Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for making High Alpha Innovation's Alloy Summit THE venture building event.
In his keynote presentation, Elliott Parker noted, “The future is not predetermined, and we are all responsible for what it holds.”
Alloy speakers explored venture building from a range of perspectives as entrepreneurs, investors, corporate innovators, and university leaders; each bringing valuable insights that will shape the way that we build the next wave of ventures. The opportunity to solve compelling problems through the creation of new ventures is greater than ever. It's Alloy attendees that will bring about this next wave of startups to create impact at scale.
