EVENT DETAILS |
Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, & Tech:NYC invite you to join us for the latest installment of the Cornell Tech@ Bloomberg series, featuring Anthony Casalena, founder & CEO of Squarespace, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television.
15 years ago in his college dorm room, in an effort to create a platform for his own website, Anthony Casalena started building what would become Squarespace. What began as a personal project borne from his dissatisfaction with existing web publishing platforms has since grown into a service used by two million people & businesses - from Keanu Reeves to Lyft - to design, create, manage, & host their websites.
Squarespace took outside investment in 2010 from Accel & Index Ventures to accelerate its growth, ushering in a new phase of the company's history, complete with celebrity endorsements & Super Bowl commercials. Now, with 50% year-over-year revenue growth in 2017, the company reportedly raised a $200 million funding round this past December that valued it at $1.7 billion, which will allow Squarespace to expand its e-commerce & international offerings.
Casalena & Fu will cover the evolution of Squarespace - along with your questions - in their wide-ranging discussion.
