David Langer’s Summary

Internet entrepreneur and blogger.

Having been a sporting fanatic throughout his life, becoming a national champion and member of the English table tennis squad as a junior, David caught the entrepreneurial bug aged 20. After founding GroupSpaces, winning places on courses and internships with McKinsey & Company, Lehman Brothers and JPMorgan, and leading various university sports clubs, David was awarded 2nd place in the UK Graduate of the Year competition in 2007.

David is currently CEO at GroupSpaces, a funded Internet start-up addressing the pains of group management and communication online. In his spare time he enjoys writing “Freed from The Matrix” – a blog giving an insight into the lives of young entrepreneurs and also the entrepreneurship section for national student newspaper, The Gateway.
