While ’gift cards’ is a massive, $100 billion industry, the market hasn’t really been disrupting with social and mobile technologies until Wrapp entered the market. After only three months live in Sweden, one percent of the Swedish population had interacted with Wrapp and in January 16, the company had 1 million users according to Techcrunch.


Wrapp, a social gifting service, has raised $10,5 million series A funding from Greylock Partners and Atomico, the VC firm formed by Niklas Zennström, co-founder of Skype, Kazaa, Creandum and other companies. As a result, Greylock partner and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman joined Zennström, and Creandum partner Johan Brenner on Wrapp’s board of directors.

Take the unique opportunity to listen to the Wrapp story and take part of lessons learned on how to become a successful international company. Join us at 5:30 for networking with lighter food and drinks. Be sure to download the Wrapp app before the event to get this gift: https://www.wrapp.com/p/siliconvikings
