Join Cognetivity's Co-founder, Seyed Khaligh-Razavi, a Cambridge University alumnus, for a master class where you will learn firsthand from the mistakes he made when starting Cognetivity almost a decade ago. You will also learn about common mistakes that Seyed has collected from the startups he has advised in AI and health tech. Some of these mistakes have led startups out of business in less than three years. The significant upside is that you do not need to wait three years to see the outcome.  Act now as if you see the future unfolding in front of your eyes.
