Microsoft Accelerator Academy - Shenkar 13, Herzliya, FREE
We’re proud to host Gigi Levy on the 12th of December at the Microsoft Accelerator Academy for his lecture “The secrets to growth using network effects”!
Network effects have emerged as the key tool for building and growing a defensible business in the digital era. A network effect is when another user makes the service more valuable for every other user. Startups with network effects command higher valuations and bring larger returns to founders, investors and employees. This event will focus on how startups can leverage the power of network effects for driving fast growth and building barriers to competition.
