HPVP is rapidly growing lots of roots in NYC.

I've already reported that we opened an office across from General Assembly on 20th and Broadway, hired Rahul Gandhi and launched an Ambassador Program which includes a slew of rockstar founders and community leaders.

Today I'm excited to unveil our Advisory Board.

These three captains of industry will help the HPVP team, founders and ambassadors get insight into the minds of big corporations, successful CEOs and serial CTOs.

Meet the Advisors:

• Wade Davis, the EVP of Strategy & Corporate Development at Viacom, can lend insight into how corporations are thinking about innovation through BD and M&A.


• Fabrice Grinda is a serial CEO, founding what is now eBay Europe and OLX (Craigslist for the rest of the world). He's also a prolific angel investor. I'm sure his mentorship will prove invaluable.


• Josh Levine was the CTO at Morgan Stanley before becoming the CTO at eTrade. He's now the CTO of AmericansElect. I suspect Josh's technical chops will be immensely helpful to the founder of any software startup.

We're excited to welcome Wade, Fabrice and Josh to the HPVP family.
