Pioneer Square Labs

Congrats on the epic Acquired event, Ben and David Rosenthal! As if you didn't have enough going on yesterday, Ben Gilbert, thanks for joining us (virtually) at the Pioneer Square Labs Annual Meeting!

We were honored to host Christie's for a preview exhibition and panel for Gen One, the late Paul Allen's collection of computing history, before it leaves Seattle for charity via auction in New York. Each piece played a central role in shaping technology, as well as the city of Seattle, as we know it today, including Paul Allen's personal Compaq 286 microcomputer, an Apple 1, and Albert Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt on the responsibility and risk of an atomic future. A special shoutout to our panel participants Ed Lazowska, Rob Short, Pete Higgins, and our Greg Gottesman who mediated the discussion! Geoff EntressVivek LadsariyaJulie SandlerPalvi MehtaT. A.
