I am delighted to announce that Brad Feld will participate in Startup Iceland 2022. Brad will join the conference through Zoom as he is not traveling these days not even to Iceland :). For those who don’t know, Startup Iceland started because of an open letter that I wrote to Brad in 2012. If you read the open letter you understand the vision that I had for Iceland and how that vision is coming true. Brad is a mentor, friend, awesome human being and a generous patron of the Startup community initiatives in Iceland. I can go on about Brad but you should come to the event and listen to the conversation we started 10 years back and the promise that I made to him.
