Startup Grind links Treasure Valley techies to Silicon Valley

About a year ago, more than 200 members of the Treasure Valley’s tech and startup scene packed into Trailhead to see a kingmaker http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/business/technology/article40846764.html . As managing partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, speaker Scott Kupor is part of a firm that invested more than $4 billion in tech companies in 2014, according to the Wall Street Journal. For the fledgling startup founders in the audience, Kupor was one of the better people in the world to corner with an elevator pitch.

Kupor shared the small stage with Jess Whiting, the founder of the event’s organizer, the Boise chapter of StartUp Grind https://www.startupgrind.com/boise/ . Whiting, a Silicon Valley native, started the chapter to help the Treasure Valley’s entrepreneur scene.
