About this event
Join Alan Patricof, the Grandfather & Pioneer of Venture Capital, in conversation with John Borthwick, CEO of Betaworks, for an AMA uncovering the lessons learned throughout Alan's robust, fruitful personal life & career, from investing early in Apple to founding New York Magazine to running the New York marathon at age 87.

Now on his "Third Act," Primetime Partners, for the trillion-dollar aging sector, Alan plans to spend the next twenty-seven years (he says he will live until 114!) building the fund into a business with as much staying power as Apax or Greycroft. Rarely does an individual's career span the lifetime of an entire industry, & this conversation will dive into Alan's time in venture capital, from the early days on Wall Street to now, & what it means to live life with no red lights.

About Alan's Book

From the early days of Wall Street to founding New York Magazine, to investing in AOL, Venmo, & more, No Red Lights: Reflections on Life, 50 Years in Venture Capital, & Never Driving Alone offers a behind-the-scenes look at the past fifty years of the industry. A social & political staple in New York City, Alan Patricof spent his entire career combining the love of arts, politics, theater & public service without sacrificing family & business success. And, throughout his incredible career, Patricof never let anything stand in his way - driving with no red lights.

This memoir is a window into Patricof's multifaceted life that spans the growth of an entire industry - a guidebook for younger people looking to start their entrepreneurial journey & for older people looking to write a new chapter in their lives.
