On Monday, June 13, 9:00-9:45 am, business-builders that have “made it” will share the stories of their achievements as part of the ITS America 2016 San Jose session called “From Idea to Acquisition: Founders Roundtable.” The session, designed as a candid discussion, will feature the entrepreneurs’ tips for success, as well as offer an inside look and lessons learned from failures along the way.

Roundtable participants include Sascha Simon, founder and CEO of Driversiti; Josh Whiton, founder of TransLoc; Carolyn Yashari Becher, co-founder, head of Policy and People, and general counsel at HopSkipDrive; and Aarjav Trivedi, founder and CEO of RideCell.

It is a perfect inaugural session for ITS America 2016 San Jose’s ‘Startup Zone’ pathway!”
