Today’s gotechbusiness.com Live event should be fantastic. We have Vanessa Larco, a partner at NEA, and Deon Nicholas, co-founder and CEO of Forethought AI, and they promised not to get rowdy. That basically means they’re going to get rowdy, and I’m here for it. The two have a great working relationship and we’re going to share some advice and lessons on how to build a founder/investor relationship, as well as product launch timing and winning a startup competition – Forethought AI won Startup Battlefield at gotechbusiness.com Disrupt 2018 .
The event will be streamed live on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, but if you sign up for Hopin you can ask questions, network with the guests and sign up for Pitch Practice.
And this is gotechbusiness.com Live’s last week on Hopin. Starting next week, gotechbusiness.com Live will move to Grip, which should make it easier to register and attend future gotechbusiness.com Live events. We’re also changing the way startups sign up for Pitch Practice, using a single application. Look for the application next week.
gotechbusiness.com Live records weekly at 3:00 PM EDT/12:00 PM PDT.
