Shutter and shuffle silenced as John Doerr humbly took center stage last week as a speaker for the Fung Institute and Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology’s Richard Newton Lecture Series. Doerr was a clear choice as the series’ mission is to bring distinguished speakers within the entrepreneurial world to UC Berkeley for an hour and a half every Tuesday. Known as an early investor in Google, Amazon, Zynga and Square, Doerr transcended his 3.4 billion dollar net worth and spoke to the undergraduate students’ needs as he conducted a hybrid presentation mixing Q&A and a shorter presentation about his philosophy about the Venture Capital world.
