Founder 2 Founder is a dine-around series where we hear from founders who have achieved major milestones in the life of their startup. The event will begin with networking, followed by the meal, and will conclude with a guided discussion of how our guest founder navigated their startup through major milestones like buying, selling, and merging. Why are we launching this series? Because we want you to know you can do it too. We showcase a variety of founders, including founders who are women and people of color.
Our first speaker in the series is Dr. Nashlie Sephus. Nashlie, a Mississippi native, is currently the Applied Science manager for Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiative and she is a woman of color. She landed at Amazon through Amazon's purchase of her startup, PartPic, where she was the CTO (Chief Technology Officer). Nashlie and her team developed the image search feature in use by Amazon today...you know, the little camera that appears on the Amazon app search bar?
The amazing thing about Nashlie is that she's breaking all the rules, and rewriting them as she goes. Join us as we hear about her journey from Maker to Founder through the acquisition of her startup by Amazon.
Ticket price includes a fixed-menu including salsa and queso blanco stations, build your own fajita and taco bar, and beverages which include two alcoholic drink tickets. Space is limited. Must be 21 years of age.
