We are thrilled to leverage our collective network to host this day of honest collaboration and shared learning."

Confirmed speakers include engineers, senior executives, and Managing Directors from Two Sigma, as well as experts from within the Two Sigma Ventures portfolio and team. Nir Eyal, the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products, will deliver a keynote on user engagement and the psychology behind the world's most habit-forming technologies.

Workshops and discussion groups will cover the ins and outs of reliability engineering, how to build and evolve your sales organization, implementing inclusion practices into your onboarding and offboarding practices, managing through cash constraints and pivots, growing your data engineering function in a scalable way, best practices for measuring people analytics for the whole employee lifecycle, and much more.

"We're excited to welcome founders and teams from across the United States for our 2018 Summit," said Colin Beirne, Partner at Two Sigma Ventures.
