Steve Case, a founder of AOL and Revolution Start-Up, is coming to Dallas on February 2nd for two special events, and SWAN will be part of the big day. Special thanks to our Impact Sponsor, Lyda Hill Philanthropies, for making this possible.

First, SWAN was asked to partner with Lyda Hill Philanthropies and Perot Jain Ventures for a special breakfast with Steve Case at Pegasus Park on February 2nd.

In addition, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, there will be a special Fireside Chat with Steve Case, a panel with Steve and leading Dallas-based entrepreneurs, and a North-Texas-focused Start-Up Expo hosted by Revolution Ventures where you can meet 23 companies. Revolution seeks to partner with passionate entrepreneurs outside of Silicon Valley. Nearly 75% of all venture capital investment goes to just three states: California, New York, and Massachusetts. Revolution knows from experience that while talent is well distributed, opportunity is not.

We still have a limited number of spots left if you would like to attend the Fireside Chat and Expo. If you are interested, please reach out to Heather Gilker no later than 4 pm, Friday, January 27th at heather.gilker@swanimpact.org. SWAN will have a table at the expo, and we are excited to share more about our organization with the more than 200 people who have signed up to attend the Expo.

In addition, at the end of the year, we received multiple copies of Rise of the Rest, by Steve Case, courtesy of Lyda Hill Philanthropies, and if you are interested in getting a complimentary copy, please let Heather know as she still has a few copies left.
