Entrepreneurs’ personal backgrounds can influence the products and services they build. In this Diversity & Inclusion series, we’ll get to meet with startup founders who come from communities underrepresented in tech. In each session, a different entrepreneur will share their startup stories and their process for product development. The entrepreneur will then lead the audience in an interactive discussion on how to test their ideas, identify a target market, and quickly size their revenue opportunity, using their own company as an example of the product development cycle.
