Transitioning from Engineering to Venture Capital
Note: This is an in-person event
BITSians and Friends,
Join the BITSAA Silicon Valley Chapter for an exclusive fireside chat: From Building Products to Funding Them: Transitioning from Engineering to Venture Capital.
We’ll explore how engineering and product leadership skills translate into venture investing — and what it takes to move from building companies to backing them.
Featuring:
Ashmeet Sidana — Founder and Chief Engineer at Engineering Capital
Moderated by Aryan Pareek — Startup Team, BITSAA Silicon Valley
