Let’s look at just some of the events of the day. You’ve got your work — and fun — cut out for you trying to take in all the stellar startup goodness. Remember, this is merely a taste — you’ll find all the action listed in the Disrupt 2020 agenda. Note: unless otherwise stated, all times are PST.

We have a terrific bunch of breakout sessions scheduled throughout Disrupt. Case in point: Want to create meaningful change in your organization? Don’t miss this timely topic — Diversity as Disruption: Take action now to create a more diverse ecosystem with BBG Ventures’ Nisha Dua; SVB Capital’s Jennifer Friel Goldstein; Moxxie Ventures’ Katie Stanton; and Harlem Capital Partners’ Jarrid Tingle. Hosted by Silicon Valley Bank (9:00 a.m. – 9:50 a.m.).

Every early-stage startup founder needs to make it rain — the harder the better. But knowing when and how to start ain’t easy, and one misstep can really set you back. Do you fit the description?
