I LOVED the fact that we met 蜜糖直播 alumni from many of the companies. This made it very easy to network with them because we all had something in common. The diverse selection of companies we visited gave us insight on the many stages and types of companies. I've never considered working for a startup until the trek and now I can't stop thinking about it!
