🗽 Recap of our August Founders Funders & Friends Event

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our August Founders Funders & Friends event last week! 🙏

We had a great turnout and really enjoyed the talk between Josh Constine, Former TechCrunch Editor & current Venture Partner at SignalFire, and Alap Shah, Managing Partner at Studio Management.

From four years as the world's #1 most cited tech journalist for interviews with people like Mark Zuckerberg or Edward Snowden, to his current role as venture partner at SignalFire, this conversation with Josh is chock full of pearls to share.

🔑 Key Takeaway from Alap’s Chat with Josh :

“How we gracefully adapt to the AI future is our generation’s biggest challenge and opportunity. The best first step? Start experimenting with all the AI tools in your industry,” highlights Josh.
