Join us for coffee as Laura Swan and Rick Lazansky talk you through their investing journey. Rick Lazansky is a serial entrepreneur, active investor, and coach of many start-ups. Rick was inspired to start Silicon Catalyst by the growth of software startups supported by incubators, accelerators, and open-source software, and the need for ‘hard’ technologies to have the same level of ecosystem support. Laura is an investor with Sand Hill Angels and is a founding partner of The Batchery, a tech incubator in Berkeley California. Laura has a thorough understanding of the engineering development process (functional specification, system/architecture design, development, testing, and deployment) based on over a decade of software/firmware development experience
