Access Silicon Valley (http://www.accesssiliconvalley.net/) invites you to join us on March 21, 2017 when we sit down with Symphony (https://symphony.com/) Founder & CEO, David Gurle – the man who is revolutionizing the way financial service teams interact each day.

Symphony provides secure messaging for teams, workgroups and organizations of all sizes. Since 2014, Symphony has raised over $160 million from Google as well as a conglomerate of banks and blue-chip financial institutions that includes Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, JPMorgan, Citi, HSBC, and Bank of America – not bad for a 2-year-old startup! With 116,000 paying customers (competitor Bloomberg has accumulated 325,000 in its 25 years), Symphony is making a serious splash in the financial services and messaging industries.

Roger Rappoport, (http://www.procopio.com/attorneys/view/roger-c-rappoport) founder of Access Silicon Valley, will moderate this Fireside Chat “Unleashed” with David, discussing his journey, from his early days at Microsoft in 1999 (and again 2011 when they acquired Skype), to joining the senior leadership team at Thomson Reuters in 2003, his role in creating Skype for Business, founding DMG Flight Ventures in 2012 and then going on to raise millions from Wall Street in 2014 for Perzo/Symphony.

Join us for this interactive, audience-driven event full of insights from the perspective of one of the most awe-inspiring startup entrepreneurs to make it big in Silicon Valley!

Don't miss DAVID GURLE unleashed!!
