UVU Seminar

The seminar was a success! I taught two breakout sessions about the current venture capital climate as well as what to expect when approaching VCs. Also discussed in my classes was the art of "bootstrapping" and giving the investment pitch to potential investors.

Overall, the experience was good and I met some great people!
