Rizwan Virk is a high tech entrepreneur, an author, independent film-maker, angel investor, and a spiritual seeker.
His entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 23, when he started his first high tech company and rapidly grew it into a multi-million dollar venture. It was then that a series of events happened which made him re-evaluate what was happening "behind the scenes" in his entrepreneurial career. This caused him to change his views on business, career success, and how they relate to each of our spiritual journeys.
Riz received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and M.S. in Management from Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
Riz has started several high tech companies, and invested in and mentored the founders of dozens of others. Riz was the original co-creator of Tap Fish, a mobile game that was downloaded more than 30 million times on the iPhone and Google Android phones. Some of the companies that he's co-founded or invested in include: Gameview Studios, CambridgeDocs, Brainstorm Technologies, Service Metrics, Tapjoy, iddiction, and many others.
