For an inside look at professional life in Silicon Valley after Yale, SEAS is proud to present “Yale Entrepreneurs, Engineers & Innovators,” a lecture and discussion series from Ann Miura-Ko ’98 BSEE. In this multi-part series, Ann will draw from her experience as a co-founding partner of seed-stage venture capital firm Floodgate.
