Before Facebook, there was Myspace. For a while, Myspace was the largest social media platform in the world. In 2007, the site had 300 million users and was valued at $12 billion. By 2008, it was generating 4.3 billion daily page views. But almost overnight, it was dethroned by Facebook. It has since become a virtual “ghost town” (The Guardian) and was sold off for $35 million in 2011.

In this event, we will sit down with Sean Percival, former VP of Marketing at Myspace, to hear his take on what went wrong and how we could learn from their mistakes. Sean will discuss the importance of building the right infrastructure, focusing on the right things, and leveraging data to serve your customers. Sign up now to join us and take home a few lessons on how to grow your startup.
