Hyperspace Ventures is a venture capital company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Unlike other VC companies, Hyperspace Ventures not only invests in start-ups, but also helps connect entrepreneurs with specialists in both digital design and brand management.

Taylor Meyer is the managing partner of Hyperspace Ventures. While completing a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill, Meyer started the company UConnection, which cooperated with more than 50 food brands to provide food service to more than 500 universities across 44 states. The mobile app achieved a top 10 ranking in the APP store in the food and drink category and generated millions in annual revenue. UConnection was sold to a private equity firm in 2017. Meyer then went on to earn an MBA at UNC-Chapel Hill and a Master’s degree in software engineering at Harvard University.

Join us to hear Meyer share his experiences creating a million-dollar company, transitioning from chemistry to venture capital, and working in the venture capital world.
