Eventbrite's Kevin Hartz: Be Unbound by the Heritage of the Past

Eventbrite's CEO Kevin Hartz talks about success, early days of Eventbrite and what investors look for from early start-up ideas and products. He was one of the keynotes at the September Vatorsplash event in San Francisco.

Kevin even gets specific by letting entrepreneurs know what Sequoia Capital looks for. Advice: they look for outsiders/the unknown, those with special insights into the future, those who want to 'change the world,' and those unbound by the heritage of the past.
