GGV Capital’s 6th annual EvolvingIE Summit is a wrap! Our annual gathering of innovators shaping the digital economy—disrupting how we live, work, and play in the 21st century—saw more than 1000 entrepreneurs, executives, and investors engage on building a digital first future. Through thought-provoking panels, we delved into how technology is rapidly impacting ecommerce, food, healthcare, lifestyle, and the future of work. With New York at the nexus of many of the most groundbreaking digital trends, we invited leaders from NYC-based companies such as Bowery Farming, Chief, Slice, Jokr, Snappy, Odeko, and Function of Beauty to speak, but also founders from global digital innovators such as TikTok, StockX, Para and Karat Financial. Here are 10 key takeaways from an action-packed event.
