Switch from ‘listening’ to ‘engaging’ with a small group conversation with Silicon Valley practitioners. ‘Builders’ are people we call who have hands-on experience building successful ventures. Look forward to a lively exchange on how to address on-the-ground challenges on the way to building a successful new age company.
