Matt takes us through his 20+ year career beginning with starting BabyCenter in 1996 and why early childhood is so exciting from social impact, technological, and investing perspectives. With BabyCenter still widely used today, reaching 100M parents monthly with 8 out of 10 new mothers as online users, Matt shares his key entrepreneurial lessons learned and why he believes the company has stood the test of time. Having recently returned back to early childhood post other business ventures, Matt explains his main incentives for starting Promise Venture Studio, which catalyzes and accelerates entrepreneurial ventures driving impact at scale for children 0-5 in the U.S. and the evolution he has seen in the industry. Lastly, given the recent influx of high-profile investments made in early childhood, Matt discusses why the time is now for the industry and identifies areas of innovation in this market he’s most excited about.

Fireside chat from GSV Leaders Summit with Rick Levin, Former President, Yale University and former CEO of Coursera and Michael Moe, Founder GSV.

In this episode, Chief People Officer of UiPath, Marius Istrate joins GSV AcceleraTE Fund Managing Partner, Deborah Quazzo. UiPath is the global leader in robotic process automation AND the fastest growing enterprise software company in history. UiPath has grown from 100 employees in 3 countries under two years ago to 2,400 employees in 30 countries today AND, most importantly, UiPath was recently acknowledged as the NUMBER 1 rated Unicorn in the world for culture as measured by Comparably. Deborah asks Marius how an organization growing this quickly receives ratings from employees of 97 on “happiness” and 92 and above on gender and diversity. You’ll hear that it’s all about being able to bring your authentic self to work, employee empowerment and perversely the benefits of starting the business in a small, formerly Communist country, where gender equity and valuing diversity come naturally. Don’t miss this fabulous interview and see Marius on StageX at ASU GSV in April!
