Join us for an exclusive event co-hosted with Amazon Web Services, featuring 4 distinguished industry leaders in the entrepreneurship and venture capital space!
We will feature Pinn - Partner at Lightspeed Ventures, Aswin - Co-Founder & CEO at Lumina (2M users; backed by Y Combinator), and Zaizhuang - Co-Founder at Spin which has been acquired by Ford on a panel, where we will learn from them about thriving without fundraising, GTM, and growing revenue sustainably.
There will also be an intimate fireside chat on engagement and retention with Nir Eyal - Best-selling Author of Hooked, a book that most Product Managers & Founders would know about :)
Learn about how to be a cockroach, through sustainable growth and making something people want. To quote Paul Graham, "For years I’ve been telling founders that the surest route to success is to be the cockroaches of the corporate world."
