Ben Casnocha is the keynote speaker at the 6th annual Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup Collegiate Business Plan Competition Awards Dinner and Gala on Thursday, April 22.  The dinner is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.

Casnocha is the author of the bestselling business book “My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley,” which the New York Times hailed as “precocious, informative and entertaining.” Casnocha’s entrepreneurial nature became evident when he was 14-years-old and founded Comcate, Inc., an e-government software company.

His work has been featured in dozens of international media including CNN, USA Today, CNBC and ABC’s 20/20, and he is also a frequent a commentator for public radio’s “Marketplace” show. At a recent conference in Paris, PoliticsOnline named Casnocha as one of the “25 most influential people in the world of internet and politics,” and BusinessWeek recently named him as “one of America’s top young entrepreneurs.”

Casnocha writes prolifically on his blog (ben.casnocha.com), which the San Jose Business Journal  called one of the “Top 25 Blogs in Silicon Valley.” Casnocha has given speeches at dozens of universities and organizations around the world and has traveled to more than 25 countries. He also co-runs the Silicon Valley Junto, an intellectual discussion society for business and technology executives.
