ABOUT WILLIAM B. ROSENZWEIG

William Rosenzweig is an internationally recognized entrepreneur who has spent over 25 years in cultivating thriving startups. He was founding CEO (and Minister of Progress) of The Republic of Tea, an award-winning specialty tea company that is credited with creating the premium tea category in the United States.  As an entrepreneur and investor, he has been involved in Odwalla, Stonyfield Farms, Trinity Springs, Winetasting.com and Brand New Brands, a functional food incubator he founded in 2003.

Will is co-author of The Republic of Tea: How an Idea Becomes a Business, which was named one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. His work has been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Sound Money, Business Week, USA Today, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Will is also founding managing partner of Physic Ventures, the first venture capital firm dedicated to investing in keeping people healthy, where he has supported innovative early-stage companies including Revolution Foods, Pharmaca, Recyclebank, Novomer, Gazelle, EnergyHub, and Watersmart.  Based in San Francisco, the firm’s strategy is to capitalize on major economic, social, and political trends that shape health and sustainability.

In 2013, Will was named chairman of the Vitality Institute Commission, a national effort focused on promoting health and well-being and preventing chronic disease.

In 2010, Will was honored with the Oslo Business for Peace Award, which represents "the highest distinction given to a businessperson for outstanding accomplishments in the area of ethical business." He was the only American selected among seven global honorees by a committee of Nobel Laureates.  

From 1999-2008, Will served on the faculty of the Haas School of Business at University of California, Berkeley, where he initiated and taught the first MBA courses in Social Entrepreneurship and Social Venture Development. Will continues to serves as Chairman of the advisory board to the Global Social Venture Competition. He has been a Price Kauffman Fellow and a visiting faculty member at London Business School.  

From 2000-2004, Will was also a team member for the Rockefeller Foundation's ProVenEx Fund, the first Foundation sponsored “impact” investment vehicle seeking "double bottom line returns" in for-profit businesses.

He serves on advisory boards for The Culinary Institute of America, a Gates Foundation funded project on Sanitation, and SustainAbility, a London-based think tank.

Our friends and #foodhackathon sponsors at  Institute For The Future created the "Future Proof Your Hack - Alternative Scenarios For Food "  futures thinking guide to assist in helping our attendees think about their ideas/hacks for the upcoming Food Hackathon. 

However you participate in the Future of Food Technology Hackathon, you’re already part of a movement making the future. The food system of the next decade needs your ideas and prototypes. When imagining the future, we often assume change will continue in the same direction as the recent past. But history tells us there are other ways that change can occur. Considering four alternative future scenarios— growth, constraint, collapse, and transformation—will help you prepare for a decade of volatility and change. The real future will likely contain elements of all four scenarios, and it starts with what you imagine, invent, make, and hack today.

The Food Hackahton will take place this weekend and we're excited to be sold out with 90+ people on the wait list. We're assembling a great diverse group of entrepreneurs, foodies, designers and developers. The energy in the room will be amazing and we can't wait to see the ideas and innovation from all the participants. To maximize the creativity during the hackathon we have decided to implement Hackbright Academy's Code of Conduct.

The team at #foodhackathon couldn't agree more with the code of conduct. Please review the Code of Conduct below and if you have any questions let us know. See you Saturday and happy hacking!
