We are am excited to announce new speaker Go Global Series with 500 Startups Alumni!

Liz Polizzi Oertle, CEO/founder of Nanno (an on-demand child care marketplace), will talk about the peculiarities of building a SaaS marketplace serving hyperlocal markets across the U.S. She will cover topics including seeding versus scaling in a new market, leveraging national marketing resources to target specific demographics, and all the bad advice she got from people who don’t understand the nuances of building a double-sided marketplace in a service industry. We will leave plenty of room for questions because in this area more than most, specific facts and circumstances matter, a lot.

In addition to being a startup founder, Liz is a recovering lawyer, a former book editor, and mother of two fabulous young women who will one day rule the world. She enjoys urban adventures, speculative fiction, and learning the hard way.
