Civic hacknight #234 (VIRTUAL) A startup journey: from start to finish

• Topic: A startup journey: from start to finish

Jacqueline Leung will speak about her experience starting Pressed,
building it for 3 years - tactics on how to raise money, find the
right accelerators, hire good people - making the decision to shut
down and ultimately sell to Daily Hive.

• Presenter Biography:
  Jacqueline spent the last 3 years building a startup called Pressed News, a digital media company that made the news easy to understand. Currently the Managing Editor at Daily Hive, Jacqueline is passionate about delivering important stories to the masses and wants to help women excel in leadership roles any way she can.
