DSAi x UNSW Founders presents - 'TURN YOUR TECH SKILLS INTO STARTUP SUCCESS'

DSAi is back with another meet up event in June, and we're partnering with UNSW Founders.

In this event, you'll hear directly from guest speakers Wenee Derricott-Yap and Thomas Derricott-Yap (authors of Riding the Unicorn: The Startup Guide You'll Want to Read - link to book) on:

  • The roadmap from algorithm to IPO - Your technical skills are in demand, but the path from technical expert to successful founder isn't coded in your bootcamp curriculum. What's the difference between becoming another statistic and building the next unicorn? Understanding the startup ecosystem that surrounds your technical brilliance.
  • Founder pitfalls to avoid - A comprehensive breakdown of the critical mistakes that derail 60% of startups in their first three years, with a specific focus on technical founder blind spots
  • Real-World War Stories – Hear candid accounts of near-failures turned into successes from founders who navigated the startup wilderness

This is a must-attend event for entrepreneurs, data scientists and AI engineers who want to learn how to convert their technical skills or personal projects into a start up business.

As usual with our meetups, this event will also include:

  • AI tech, market and regulation updates by the DSAi team
  • NETWORKING - network with fellow AI entrepreneurs, investors and professionals.

Investors and venture capital folks are also invited to this event (and scout for promising AI startups).
Doors open at 5.30PM, for a 6PM Start!
