Future and Past Events Include:

The EntreTech Speakers series introduces students to experienced entrepreneurs who can share real world experiences. The purpose of the series is to bridge materials students are learning in class with actual examples from people who have experienced it first hand. The motivation is to have students learn how concepts have been applied in actual startup situations. Speakers may relate to students stories demonstrating the methods they used to overcome serious issues they faced. These could relate to financing the company at various stages, identifying real markets for their products, bringing the company public, or going through an acquisition. Eight sessions are planned each academic year.

All are welcome.
