IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL MEETUP: ChromaCode – Aditya Rajagopal – Zero to a Million: Scaling a Business in the Time of COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic was incredibly disruptive to the normal way of life in previously unimaginable ways: going to school, showing up for work, traveling, and even buying toilet paper! Yet, in the middle of the COVID chaos, there was a boom of new tools and companies built to address these disruptions–things like Zoom for remote work, and like ChromaCode for high volume medical testing. Aditya will talk about the challenges of building and scaling a diagnostic business in the middle of a global pandemic, and how he and the ChromaCode team turned chaos into opportunity. SPECIAL NOTE: This event is a kickoff event for Pasadena's CONNECT WEEK 2022, from Oct 9th - 15th, 2022. Check it out at https://www.connectpasadena.com/about

ABOUT OUR MEETUP

These are weekly coffee meet-ups to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:15am to 9:30am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
