What do funders and buyers really want—and how can innovators meet them where they are? An interactive session built around small-group discussions to explore perspectives of those who purchase and adopt new solutions, and those who invest in them. What are they actually looking for—and how can startups align to those needs? How do investors learn from buyers…or how should they? What might we learn from looking at actual emerging products and companies? Join a table and dive in with purpose.
