What does it take to “make it” as an entrepreneur? How does an idea become a product? How does a product shape a company? 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.

“We’re fortunate to have this calibre of talent to share their insights and secrets of business success,” said Regina Hopper, president and CEO of ITS America. “This event is meant to help foster ITS start-ups, incubate their inventions and innovations, and grow from great idea to attractive investment to great acquisition for businesses eager to deploy a product or service to scale. It is a perfect inaugural session for ITS America 2016 San Jose’s ‘Startup Zone’ pathway!”
