A multi-generational who’s who of Silicon Valley gathered last night for the book launch of Amber Atherton, with support from The Caviar Co., Taika, Juneshine, Best Day Brewing, and The Naked Market. IDEO CoLab Ventures investor Madeline Macartney moderated a conversation between the author Amber Atherton and legendary tech founders Philip Rosedale (Second Life), Jim Bumgartner (The Palace), and Howard Rhinegold (The Well) to discuss the state of virtual communities. In attendance were founders, including Max Mullen of Instacart, and VCs from a16z, Sequoia, and Forerunner and Patron. IDEO CoLab Ventures, an early stage fund investing at the intersection of design and emerging technology, continues to create a center of gravity for good humans and big ideas. Atherton’s book is now available at major retailers including Amazon.
