25 Years of Building Out the Internet - (Affirm) Max Levchin & (Lakestar) Mika Salmi | Slush 2022

Very few people have had the impact on the internet that Max Levchin has. In 1998, he co-founded the company that later became PayPal. These days, he’s Founder & CEO of the Buy Now, Pay Later giant Affirm. In between, he’s founded Slide.com and sat on the boards of Yahoo, Yelp and Evernote, and commercializing the CAPTCHA challenge response. 

Guided by another internet pioneer, Mika Salmi, Max will walk us through an exceptional journey as an entrepreneur, the lessons that repeated success has left him with, and what the future holds.
