Join us this Friday: V1 Connect with Brandon Fan!
Thanks to everyone for coming to our winter community events this semester. We’re always committed to cater to our entire community with open events. That’s why we’re excited to announce our first V1 Connect of 2023, featuring Brandon Fan!
As a junior at Michigan, Brandon has worked on numerous startups and co-founded Blankly, an open-source package for creating and deploying trading algorithms (backed by Contrary Capital!)
He’s now working on his newest venture, Shade, a platform for visual artists to manage and search terabytes of visual audio and 3D assets. Fun fact: Shade is partnered with VFX companies that have worked on Marvel movies, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings!
Learn more about Brandon’s story this Friday, February 10th @ R2240 in Ross from 6-7 PM 🔥. You’ll hear more about his decision to pivot from Blankly to Shade, how he’s scaled his current venture, and his overall journey as a serial builder.
The talk will be structured as a mix between core content and open Q&A. Please RSVP for this event using the link below - drop any questions you have for Brandon! And feel free to bring a friend!
