Veteran investor and partner at Charles River Ventures, Bill Tai is producing the Extreme Tech Challenge that will be offering a great opportunity for new companies with game-changing ideas. Managing to combine the entrepreneurial community, Consumer Electronic Show and Sir Richard Branson, the Extreme Tech Challenge is poised to give valuable resources and visibility to scale a new product in addition to guidance from iconic entrepreneurs.

There, the finalists will pitch their big idea to a great judge panel including Lars Rasmussen (Facebook), Young Sohn (Samsung), Felix Baumgartner (extreme sport athlete), Gary Shapiro (CEA), and Sir Richard himself.

He co-founded MaiTai Global with Suzi Mai, a non-profit kite camp for entrepreneurs, innovators and athletes that takes frequent trips to some of the most beautiful places in the world.
