?? What an epic event! ?? Huge thanks to TEN Capital Network and Hall T. Martin's amazing team for another action-packed 2-day event with investors in Beverly Hills and Orange County! ?? This one was extra special for me because I got to pitch at the UCI ANTrepreneur Center. Touring the facility and learning about the incredible resources they provide—legal support, creator labs, pitch funding, and more—was truly inspiring. ?? As a proud alum of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at TCU program at TCU, it was amazing to be back at a university, seeing firsthand the work being done to support students on their entrepreneurial journeys! ??
