Requirements

Network Catalyzers: You intuitively know where the best founders and ideas are brewing. You have a genuine passion for connecting with entrepreneurs and are deeply plugged into the tech world.
Analytical Rigor: You can spot commercial trends with ease and derive powerful insights and decisions from limited data. You possess a quick, insightful 'gut-check' for what is truly exciting, but also back up your opinions with data.
