KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Alan Gershenfeld, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, E-Line Ventures (USA)

Make Money. Make a Difference.
Can a for-profit business also make a meaningful social impact? Can non-profits develop sustainable business models and remain true to their mission?

In his keynote, Alan will talk about his adventures helping to build both for-profit and non-profit film, video game and internet-based organizations and how these experiences led to his co-founding of E-Line Ventures, an early stage double bottom line venture fund.

E-Line makes investments in companies that promise strong financial returns and measurable social impact, focusing specifically on tools that democratize critical business sectors and media projects that engage audiences in the critical issues of the day. Alan will talk about how the fund is applying this thesis in investments ranging from personal fabrication to digital comics.
