Attendees got to hear the ups and downs of building a startup from entrepreneurs who passed up job security and big salaries for founder freedom and all that comes with it. During the discussion, Matt shared the story of starting Clarifai five years ago and answered audience questions like how to identify initial customers or navigate the world of intellectual property with universities.
