Come meet Mariano (investment partner @ a16z) and Christal (Forbes30u30 founder of a YC-backed startup called Shimmer)! They're both incredible twenty mentors, ready to share what they wish they'd known earlier about the startup, VC, and founder journey. 🎉

Please join us with your camera ON and bring your questions! (We will not be recording this event so that our speakers can be as honest as possible.)
