How to Start an AI Startup Without Quitting Your Job

About this event

Leaving a stable job can feel like the price of entry for starting a company. For most first-time founders it is the wrong first step. Research on founders who kept their jobs while starting found they were less likely to fail than those who quit first. This session shows how to build on nights and weekends: what to work on in the first months, how to keep your side project separate from your job, and which signals say it is time to go full time. Register now and start with the job you already have. (https://fi.co/e/406071/meetup) ❯ Guest Speakers include: • Ayhan K.
