Neha Khera, Partner at 2048 VC, is an early-stage investor who understands the challenges of investing in startups with little to no traction.

So what’s her approach? Neha bases her investments on three things: team, tech, and timing. Her advice for those startups? Just stay laser focused on creating value. 

If you are a tech founder filled with tenacity and ready to create more value, interested in the Canadian startup scene or maybe or, like the 2048 team, just a true geek at heart, you don’t want to miss this session.
