My name is Carter Boisfontaine — I’m an investor from Pegasus Tech Ventures. We are a Silicon Valley-based venture capital fund with a billion dollars in assets under management.
I wanted to personally reach out to you regarding a community impact effort we are making with our event, The Startup World Cup, which is a global-scale startup conference and pitch competition for a $1 million investment prize. We expect to have over 2,500 people from the tech community attending, many of which will be executives from top firms such as Apple, Oracle, Google, Facebook, IBM, Salesforce, and others.
The event has also had some excellent speakers in the past. Some of these speakers include:
- Reid Hoffman, Co-founder, Linkedin
- John Chambers, Former CEO and Chairman, Cisco Systems
- Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder, Apple
- Adam Cheyer, Co-founder, SIRI
- Marc Randolph, Co-founder, Netflix
- Vinod Khosla, Co-founder, Sun Microsystems
This year we have been able to confirm these speakers:
· Tim Westergren, Founder and Former CEO, Pandora
· Paula Tolliver, CIO, Intel
· Ray Lane, Former President and COO, Oracle
· Terry Jones, Founding Chairman, Kayak.com
· Josh Constine, Editor-At-Large, TechCrunch
· Rashmi Gopinath, Partner, Microsoft Ventures
· Deborah Magid, Director, IBM Ventures
· Jay Fulcher, Chairman and CEO, Zenefits
We’d like to invite Code Berkeley to the Startup World Cup. It’d be an excellent opportunity to both learn about the tech industry and network with industry influencers from around the world.
You can learn more about The Startup World Cup at:

I reached out to Code Berkeley because I thought you’d be interested in the networking opportunity with audience members from the big tech companies mentioned earlier in this email.
I’d love the chance to set up a phone call to tell you more about the event. Perhaps then you can tell me how to best extend this opportunity to the rest of the Berkeley City College community.
Let me know a few times in the coming week or two that work for you, and I’ll make one work for a call.
Kind Regards,
Carter Boisfontaine
