Speaking of his Excel experience, Avery Rosin, Birthright Excel Summit co-chair, told eJP: “My experience meeting entrepreneurs and diving deeper into various technology markets during my fellowing with Birthright Excel helped me get my start as a technology investor as I have been doing growth stage software and internet investing for 6 years.

The Excel program gave me tangible skills, an incredible network, and a platform to grow professionally.”
