Ep 121: When A Tech Accelerator Goes Virtual: LexLab Director Drew Amerson and Anü Founder Tiyani Majoko

<p><a href="http://lexlab.uchastings.edu/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">LexLab</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, the legal innovation hub at UC Hastings Law School, recently wrapped up the fourth cohort of its legal tech accelerator program with a demo day at which the seven startup participants got to pitch their products to potential investors. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But this demo day, in fact this entire cohort, was noticeably different than prior ones, in that it was the first to take place 100% virtually, without the benefit of having the startups come and work on site in LexLab’s offices on the Hastings campus in San Francisco.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of LawNext, we speak with LexLab’s director,</span> <a href= "http://lexlab.uchastings.edu/our-team"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Drew Amerson</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and</span> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiyani-majoko/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Tiyani Majoko</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, cofounder of</span> <a href= "https://goanu.co/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Anü</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, one of the startups that participated in the program, about the accelerator program and about the good and bad of the experience of conducting it virtually. </span></p> <p><strong>Thank You To Our Sponsors</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
