Women & Tech Meetup I There's No One Way In: Building a VC Career on Your Own Terms
Join Maddie and Akshita as they share how they landed at Tech Square Ventures, and how the firm's unique position bridging Atlanta startups and enterprise customers shapes the theses they invest against. Expect real talk on career paths in startups and venture, the trends they're watching in AI and the future of frontline work, and the case for chasing the work you love instead of the "right" path.
Akshita Bio: Akshita's path into venture didn't follow a straight line. She started as a neuroscientist, co-founded a smart kitchen startup that she pitched live on Shark Tank, and ended up in venture capital. Now at Tech Square Ventures, she works at the intersection of Atlanta's startup ecosystem and Fortune 500 innovation, sourcing startups to solve real enterprise problems and leading the firm's Data, Analytics & AI and Supply Chain verticals.
