Bridging Silicon Valley and the World: A Lunch with Daniela Caserotto Leibert, US Head of Ecosystem at Cathay Innovation
Grab your fork and join us for lunch with Daniela Caserotto Leibert, US Head of Ecosystem at Cathay Innovation — the world's largest VC platform for startup-industry collaboration, with €2.5B AUM and a portfolio spanning four continents.
Daniela brings 17+ years of international experience scaling startups from stealth to hyper-growth, launching products across 27+ countries, and bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and global corporations. She was on the ground floor at cyber security startup Area 1 Security before Cloudflare acquired them in 2022, helped build platform strategy at top European VC Speedinvest, and now advises Fortune 500s and G2000 companies on how to integrate and invest in transformative technology.
Hosted by the Yale Table, this is your chance to dig into what it really takes to find breakout startups, what corporations get wrong about innovation, and how the best investors think about the intersection of financial returns and strategic value.
Whether you're interested in VC, global expansion, or building something of your own, pull up a chair.
10 students will be invited to the Table.
