Hosted by Google Ventures and Vator, the newly-launched Startup Sessions is a monthly speaker series featuring one keynote speaker who will share his or her startup stories. The three-hour event is designed to be a casual gathering of techies - entrepreneurs, developers, marketers, investors - who want to get the inside scoop about some of the highest-profile tech influencers.

Kicking off our series is David Sacks, CEO and founder of Yammer, which was bought by Microsoft for $1.2 billion this past June.
