Today, we are welcoming Ben Wilson, President and CEO of Rivers Agile, to talk about a novel model for investing in tech startups and innovation. 

Ben founded the Rivers Agile Workshop (RAW) as a business acceleration service designed for entrepreneurs and startups focused on Machine Learning, Financial Technology and Artificial Intelligence.

Primarily intended for early-stage companies that generate impact through technology, "technology-oriented," and/or consumer-focused innovation(s) to trigger growth in preparation for continuing investment. The RAW initiative provides support to develop emerging commercially-viable businesses to become attractive to other funders and/or generate revenue. The Workshop’s goal is to transform business concepts into re-fundable startups that generate positive returns and outcomes through their innovation.
