Hello Retriever Entrepreneurs!

This event will feature Aristotle Kalivretenos, CEO and Co-Founder of Aurora Analytics LLC, who will share his journey from academic research to launching a successful startup.

Kalivretenos will walk attendees through the evolving story of Aurora, touching on pivotal entrepreneurial questions:

• Is it the right time to start a company?
