Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 concerns, Norwich Ventures has instated a company travel ban. Attendees with paid tickets will be refunded. Aaron is unable to travel to San Francisco for this talk. He expects to be able to make it in the fall, and we look forward to seeing you then.
Startup founders whose technologies embody the convergence of AI, data, or telehealth with traditional engineering must develop wide-ranging business models. It is no longer enough to focus on a product by itself; founders must take a systems approach and consider all stakeholders that interact with the data or technology. Aaron Sandoski, co-founder & managing director of Norwich Ventures, will explain how his investment firm assesses early-stage companies with convergent technologies.
