Contrary and 8VC are co-hosting a fireside chat event followed by a reception for the most talented founders and builders at Georgia Tech. Join Nouf as she moderates a fireside chat with Chris Klaus and Alex Moore, where she is going to explore their interesting career trajectories. The fireside chat will then be followed by a reception where you can grab something to eat while you network with the attendees and speakers.

Both of the speakers have extremely unique backgrounds and experiences. Klaus is the founder & CEO of Kaneva, a game company, and founder & CTO of Internet Security Systems Inc.

Alex also co-founded Backplane, a social media analytics company, & NodePrime, a cloud automation company which was acquired in 2016 by Ericsson.
