Chip Paucek, Co-founder and CEO of 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU, market cap: $3.5B) will join us at the A-ha! Conference December 12-13, 2017 in San Francisco. We’re looking forward to hearing about what’s next for 2U.

P.P.S. A-ha! Is only 2 weeks away. Time to get your group to register for our group rate of $2,990 for 3 tickets.
P.S. This Thursday, we’ll be providing a data-driven view into the acquisition, investment, and research strategy of units across the world’s most valuable (and secretive) company: Apple. Join us for the briefing.
