So you're a journalist who wants to build a startup?

Jeff Kofman spent 30 years as reporter, foreign correspondent and Emmy-winning war correspondent with ABC, CBC and CBC News. He covered Latin America for ten years and has reported from more than 40 countries. Eight years ago he left TV news to build Trint, an AI-powered startup focused on transcription and easing the workflow of storytelling. Jeff now leads a team of 100. He has had to learn a whole new set of skills around technology, innovation, software development, management and finance. In this talk Jeff shares lessons learned by a first-time tech founder. As much as it sounds like an oxymoron, Jeff says the key quality a tech founder needs is "humble overconfidence."
