WHERE

what

You have an idea…now what? Before you start looking for funding, it’s important to ensure that your idea is both viable and valuable — if it doesn’t have a sound model and a market willing to pay for it, investors won’t be interested anyway.

Join Heath Butler and Fresh Tech Solutionz for a Happy Hour, sponsored by J.P. Morgan.

Target Audience:

  • Startups and Entrepreneurs: early-stage entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs testing ideas for a pivot
  • Community Members: people with an idea for a startup but unsure what to do next, small business owners
  • Corporate Innovators: intrapreneurs, decision-makers tasked with creating and leading sustainable change
  • Academic Partners: students or faculty with an idea for a startup
