Ahead of the 2019 Bay Area Tiger Entrepreneurs Conference, a mini-summit of programming and networking was convened for Princeton Alumni Entrepreneurs Fund portfolio companies at the offices of DLA Piper LLP on April 10. Founders representing DonorUP, Remedy, LightUp, Volumetric, and Nucleos began the day with a fireside chat between Andrew Collins '10, founder of Bungalow, and Trevor Wilkins '13, currently principal at Quake Capital Partners and formerly of Princeton AEF portfolio company Kudzoo.
