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.

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