COVID-19 Resources for Startups
During this virtual version of our Connection to Innovation event series we discussed tracking and contact tracing to combat COVID-19 and the different approaches used in the U.S. and Israel, along with any emerging privacy considerations that may come with the technology. We had an incredible lineup of speakers that did a great job of informing our audience on the topic, which included: Kate Black, Shareholder at Greenberg Traurig Law Firm, Dan Peleg, Founder and CEO of FIBA company GlobeKeeper, Dr. Thomas Unnasch, Distinguished USF Health Professor, Dr. Michael Bloom, Vice Chair of USF Research Response to COVID-19 Task Force.
During this webinar on May 4th, we brought in two seasoned experts Dulani Porter, EVP/Partner at SPARK, and Adam Grossman, Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at The Selling Factory to advise us on how to stay afloat in COVID times with acute remote sales, communications and marketing tactics.
