Our Genius Founders have completed the Technology Phase in our Alumni Venture Seed Fund. This phase provided our young founders with the opportunity to learn how to pick their technology stack and source developers. In addition, our Geniuses were trained on how to monitor, report, and track bugs on technical projects.
