Fireside chat with Michael Mattheakis
Should you join a startup out of college? 🫵 Join us for a fireside chat with Michael Mattheakis for insight in answering this question. Michael worked at Meta, graduated from UofM in 2018, was the 10th employee at Brex, and left when it grew to 900 people to co-found his own company, Comulate. Throughout this journey, Michael experienced big tech, joining an early-stage startup, and starting his own company. If you’re facing a similar decision, come to North Quad 2435 this Wednesday, November 6th, from 5-6pm for a (virtual) fireside chat!
Interested? RSVP here. We can’t wait to see you there!
Btw — Comulate is hiring for new-grad engineering roles, apply here if you want to work for a small & high-velocity team that went from zero to millions of ARR in 18 months! 🚀
