Women in AI Circle: Paths to Entrepreneurship (w/ The AI Collective)
Join The AI Collective on a conversation designed for college students who are curious about building, investing in, or joining the next generation of AI-driven companies.
At this event, students will hear directly from an investor and entrepreneurs sharing their experiences, lessons, and practical advice on different paths to entrepreneurship. We’ll discuss how to get started, how to think about building in AI, and what opportunities exist for students who want to explore startups early in their careers.
Whether you see yourself founding a company one day or simply want to better understand the startup path, this will be a chance to learn, ask questions, and connect with others interested in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
