Game Changers: The Zynga.org Story

With Guest Speaker Marcus Segal

Tuesday, September 14, 6:30-9:30 PM
Microsoft, 835 Market Street, Suite 700, San Francisco, CA

 This event is exclusively open to members and those who receive an invitation from Full Circle Fund.
There is a $25 fee for non-members. Space is limited and advance registration is required.


Social gaming site Zynga was founded by Full Circle Fund alumnus Mark Pincus in 2007. Now, it is one of the hottest rising companies in Silicon Valley. In 2009, Zynga.org launched, harnessing the power of Zynga's 360 million monthly users to make a significant impact worldwide. In five days over $1.5 million was raised for Haiti. By offering players the opportunity to purchase virtual social goods within games, Zynga has raised over $3 million to date to benefit earthquake victims, families without clean water, and children in Haiti through school lunch programs.

You’re invited to Full Circle Fund’s September Inspiring Leaders Series, where we welcome Marcus Segal, an early Zynga executive, to discuss this innovative strategy and share insights on this compelling example of social media for social good.

Join Full Circle Fund members and partners as we examine the innovative utilization of unique company assets to ignite millions and drive change in the world. In addition to Marcus’ talk, there will be a chance to find out more about Full Circle Fund, see what our Circles are up to, mingle with our current members, and learn more about how to get involved.
