Fireside w/ Salmon Labs & Citizens for Startups

Hosted by the USC Entrepreneurship and Venture Management Association in partnership with Troy Collective. A conversation with Kevin Liu, Co-founder and CEO of Salmon Labs, and Miles Deamer, Director of Citizens For Startups.

The first half covers how Kevin and Miles think about early-stage founders, both as operators and as angel investors: what they look for in a team, what makes them lean in, and what makes them pass.

In the second half, we will walk through a set of startup profiles live, with Kevin and Miles giving direct feedback on each.
