May 2014 Chicago Booth DC Entrepreneur's Advisory Group

The Chicago Booth DC Entrepreneur's Advisory Group will meet on May 21 from 7-9 pm at the offices of Wilson Sonsini at 1700 K Street.

Our speaker this month will be Kevin Alansky, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Social Radar. Social Radar is led by Michael Chasen, the founder of Blackboard. The company recently raised an "A" series round led by New Enterprise Associates, Grotech Ventures, and SWaN & Legend Ventures, Steve Case, Ted Leonsis, and other leaders in the tech space.

From the website (www.socialradar.com):

SocialRadar gives you real-time information about the people around you.

When you walk into a room, enter a restaurant, attend a conference, or go to an event, SocialRadar tells you:

• who is there

• how you are connected to them, and

• what they have been up to.

It works by combining your phone’s location info with the chatter from your social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Instagram, Google+).

Most importantly, you have total control over your privacy. You can share your information publicly, just with your friends, be anonymous, or be invisible.

SocialRadar is available for the iPhone and will soon be available for Android and Google Glass devices.

Please join us for a lively discussion about the company.

Our hosts at Wilson Sonsini will provide pizza and soft drinks to sustain us through the evening. I hope to see you there!
