You are techY - Why you are the perfect person to start a tech company!

You are capable of starting your own tech company. You might think you don't have the right background or gender or skin color or connections. You might think that you'll start one "someday" but the world needs what you have to create right now.Great founders have one thing in common - they do not have all the pieces to the puzzle. They have help and they leverage other people's skill to build something special.Join Ellen Twomey as we dive into the techy mindset for non-technical founders. You might just walk away with your very own tech company!
