2 Powerhouses of 500 Startups are speaking at STEP Anywhere


June 8, 2020 by STEP Conference

Christine Tsai, CEO & Founding Partner at 500 Startups, AND Courtney Powell, 500 Startups’ COO, are taking the Main Stage at STEP Anywhere 2020. 500 Startups is one of the top global VC firms year on year ranking among the highest in active investments and VC investor exits. 

Christine calls herself the “Chief Pug Herder” at 500. Prior to joining 500 Startups she was in product marketing at Google and YouTube. Fun fact: She’s a ballet and hip hop dancer (classy and stylish).

Courtney is responsible for scaling 500 globally in new and existing markets. She’s had her fair experience as an entrepreneur with one of her ventures getting acquired.  

Although headquartered in San Francisco in the US, 500 Startups actually makes most of its investments outside of the US by investing through funds in SE Asia, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, Latin America, and the MENA region.
