Attend IGNITION: Future of Digital

Hear Top Tech VC John Doerr At IGNITION

John Doerr, Kleiner Perkins

Way back in the first dawning of the internet, John Doerr predicted in an article for The San Francisco Chronicle, "It's possible that the Internet in fact has been under-hyped. I think we're witnessing the creation of a brand new medium that will possibly be more important than network television." Turns out he was right, and Doerr quickly became a Silicon Valley legend.

As a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Doerr has invested in some of the most successful businesses in the world, such as Amazon.com, Netscape, Sun Microsystems, and Compaq. He serves on the boards of Google, Amyris, and Zynga. Recently he has shifted his focus to alternative energy companies and helping President Obama fix the economy.

Business Insider will host John Doerr on stage at IGNITION 2014, where Jeff Bezos, who received funding from Doerr in the early days of Amazon.com, will join him. Don't miss BI's editor-in-chief, Henry Blodget, leading a three-day program of brilliant minds taking a deep dive into the future of digital.
