The world is changing faster and faster and the only way to thrive is to accept the inevitability of change. Blitzscaling is all about rapidly growing and scaling a business or product in the face of uncertainty.

He has been building Internet businesses since 1995 and has a proven record of helping startups develop their strategy around emerging technologies, business scaling, growth initiatives, and digital disruption.  He is the General Partner at Wasabi Venture, a global venture fund, startup incubator, and consulting firm, former interim CEO of Ustream.TV, a platform service business for online videos, and VP of Marketing for PBWorks, which provides vertical collaboration solutions for companies. He has also helped grow numerous other companies, including Symphoniq Corporation, TargetFirst, and Juno Online Services and FarSight Financial Services (divisions of D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P.).  Chris is the founder and Chairman of the Harvard Business School Technology Alumni Association.
