Grateful to have had the opportunity to pitch at the Boston New Technology (BNT) AI & EdTech Showcase at Microsoft NERD! ?? It was a refreshing experience, especially after five months of graduating from Babson’s entrepreneurial program where I constantly pitched my vision. After a few months' stage break, it was exciting to be back in front of an audience, talking about ShineQuo - Your Partner in Student Wellness. The insightful questions from the judges Paul Baier, Parna Sarkar-Basu, Gustavo K Contreras, Ph.D. , Beth Porter and Kiran Panjwani, and the energy from the fellow founders in the AI and EdTech space made the event truly memorable. I’m grateful to BNT for giving me this platform and for the valuable connections I made. It was a great reminder that while a lot happens behind the scenes in building a business, it's important to stay at the forefront, continually pitching, learning, and growing. Looking forward to more feedback, direction, opportunities and growth ahead! #EdTech #Startups #Innovation #BostonNewTechnology #Pitching #Entrepreneurship #AI #Babson

Breaking down silos: The key to successful DevOps in database management Are your developers and DBAs working in isolation? This common challenge can create bottlenecks and hinder efficiency. As Yaniv Yehuda, Founder & CPO of DBmaestro, points out, optimizing collaboration between these teams is crucial for scaling DevOps processes. With DevOps adoption skyrocketing from 45% to 80% in just five years, we can't afford to rely on manual database processes. It's time to bridge the gap and streamline workflows. How are you fostering communication between your dev and DBA teams? #DevOps #DatabaseManagement #Collaboration Snapshot from today's webinar with Yaniv Yehuda of DBmaestro available here: https://lnkd.in/gqectiuH
