Announcing Venture Partner of 500 Startups Tristan Pollock On Committee
Tristan Pollock is an Entrepreneur in Residence and Venture Partner at 500 Startups, the world’s most active seed fund and startup accelerator. We are super excited to have Tristan on Glappitnova’s 2017 global celebration committee.
Before 500 Startups, Tristan empowered the most creative people in the world as co-founder of Storefront, a marketplace for retail space. Hailed as ‘Airbnb for Retail‘ by The New York Times, Storefront is backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, hip-hop artist Nas, author Gary Vaynerchuk, and former Lady Gaga manager Troy Carter. Storefront merged with Oui Open in 2016 to continue expansion internationally.
His last company, SocialEarth, the Huffington Post for social entrepreneurship won multiple awards for impact journalism and was acquired by 3BL Media in 2012.
During the Glappitnova global celebration in July, there will be a series of experiences in different cities that bring different types of extraordinary, on the rise, and people that want to better themselves in ways that feel real. Some say the celebration like a down to earth block party with un-filtered talks, wow performances, and plenty of funk but inside one hip space. Previous Glappitnova participants consist of Crystal Lee (1st runner-up Miss America), Luvvie Ajayi (New York Times best-selling author), Juan Pablo Romero Fuentes (Activist & CNN Hero), Harper Reed (Director of Software Development for PayPal), Andy Herren (CBS’ Big Brother Winner), Nicole Suarez (Emmy Winning TV Personality) and +200 entrepreneurs, artists and millennial leaders spanning a variety of industries.
