Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that its Chairman and CEO, Tarkan Maner, will present on a panel at Dell's (News - Alert) Founders 50 Summit on Wednesday, April 22 in San Francisco. The panel will feature other Dell Venture portfolio companies, entrepreneurs and VCs who will discuss best practices for raising funds from venture capitalists and corporate investors, building successful companies and navigating opportunities and partnerships with larger companies.

Dell Founders 50 is an exclusive network of CEOs and founders that have already proven they know how to start and grow a business and view technology as a critical backbone to success. Dell selects 50 startups each year and leverages some of the best practices and networks from today's accelerators, VC firms, top startup organizations, and then backs them with the power of one of the world's largest technology companies.

The Founders 50 Summit is a yearly event that provides a rich environment for high-value networking with other Founders and CEOs. It also allows attendees to connect with Dell executives, media and members of the venture capital community with this select group of business leaders.
