DESCRIPTION: *This online event starts at 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT * \n\n 
 \n\n With more than 80 million monthly users\, Wattpad is the world's most
 -loved social storytelling platform. Beyond the raw numbers\, Wattpad deve
 loped two powerful assets: (1) a loyal base of people who spend hours read
 ing\, writing\, and encouraging others within the Wattpad community\, and 
 (2) detailed information about the types of stories and genres that spark 
 the greatest amount of interest. \n\n Wattpad has begun leveraging their p
 osition to secure book and movie deals for some of their contributors. For
  example\, Netflix scored a huge hit with The Kissing Booth — a movie th
 at was adapted from an original story on Wattpad. \n\n Moving forward\, Wa
 ttpad could pursue a number of different strategies. But some opportunitie
 s — like co-producing films and TV shows — involve significant risks. 
 For one\, the Hollywood scene is notoriously competitive. Plus\, would a g
 reater focus on monetization pull Wattpad away from their origins as a fre
 e platform for community engagement? \n\n Suppose you were leading Wattpad
  — what would YOU do? \n\n Here’s your chance to weigh the risks and r
 ewards for this quickly scaling company. During a special TechTO event\, W
 attpad CEO Alan Lau will respond to your questions\, comments\, and sugges
 tions. \n\n Participation for this event requires a TechTO Insider members
 hip. \nA one-month trial membership is available for $5. \n\n \n\n What wi
 ll you learn? \n\n • How to evaluate the risks and rewards for new strat
 egies  \n\n • How to scale a company without comprising your values \n\n
  • How to evolve and diversify your product offerings \n
