DESCRIPTION
Jennifer Hill was an international startup lawyer who left a stable career as a senior attorney to launch a tech startup company. Sixty Vocab is an adaptive gaming platform (online and mobile) to learn, retain and recall conversational foreign language vocab. Sixty Vocab was selected by Forbes as a 2014 Start-up to Watch and a semi-finalist in the Milken-Penn GSE Business Plan Competition for the nation's most promising edtech startups. It was recently featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as well as BBC Capital in a story on how to ditch the 9-to-5 life. Sixty Vocab just launched its mobile app for iOS and Android featuring an offline mode for convenient learning anywhere anytime. In this webinar, Jennifer provides guidance on how to take the "jump" as an entrepreneur and what it looked like for her business, Sixty Vocab, once she did.
