In this session from the Disruption Now Summit we discuss the best practices and approaches for getting funded as a start-up with Jewel Burks -Solomon. Burks is an advocate for representation and access in the technology industry. As co-founder of Partpic, a startup designed to streamline the purchase of maintenance and repair parts using computer vision, Jewel and her team built groundbreaking technology poised to change the way people everywhere locate products.
