Basis Set x CMU Founding Engineer Event

​The First Commit: Founding Engineers Share Their Stories

What is this event?
Are you an early engineer at a startup or thinking about taking the leap and joining an early-stage start up? Join us for a candid conversation with 2 CMU founding engineers who joined pre-seed/seed stage companies as their first engineering hire!

​
Join fellow CMU engineers Barun and Karan to chat about:

• ​The benefits and challenges of being a founding engineer at a startup

• ​What actually changes when you're the first engineer at a startup?

• ​What does technical debt look like when you are the one writing it?

• ​How do you build with incomplete data?

• ​How do you build it fast enough to not break, but fast enough to matter?

• ​+ so much more...

​The format will be a Fireside Chat Followed by Mixer. To foster a more intimate conversation and accommodate space limitations, this event is exclusively for CMU alumni.
