In this roundtable discussion, we’ll share our challenges and experiences, learn from each other, grow together, and eat free ice cream.
The entrepreneurial journey is full of emotional ups and downs: excitement when you first come up with an idea, frustration when things aren't working, and fear when you don’t want to disappoint your customers, investors, or teammates.
In this roundtable discussion moderated by managing director Becca Xiong and an alumni founder, we’ll share our challenges and experiences, learn from each other, and grow together.
Ice cream will be available for attendees.
