Why Origin Stories?
Because relationships matter in the startup space, and founders, investors, and experts are people too. Understanding their backstory helps potential allies connect with them on a human level.
This event is a part of #TechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
