Start It Up!

Girls in Tech presents Start It Up!
A practical, no-nonsense guide to starting a company, raising money,
and building your first product. Everyone can and should be an
entrepreneur, and it's a little knowledge and a dash of courage that
separates an employer from an employee. We'll quickly cover market
selection, co-founders, fundraising, common characteristics of
successful companies, and realistic timelines, expectations, and
outcomes. There will be Q&A afterwards as well for specific issues.
Presented by Naval Ravikant:
