SUMMARY:Ion Family STEAM Day: Let's Build a Sail Car!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on learning experience about cars—a stunning blend of engineering brilliance and aesthetic design. These vehicles are not just about modern innovation but the culmination of millennia of evolving ideas. From ancient inventions like the wheel and axle to modern marvels like cameras and computer processors\, cars embody the spirit of continuous improvement. \n Inventors can enhance existing concepts by crafting new designs or merging seemingly unrelated ideas to forge something extraordinary. In the STEAM on Demand platform\, students will dive into the role of designers in the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and put this knowledge to use by designing and testing their very own sail car!  \nThis event will be tailored for 9-14-year-olds and their families for a fun STEAM experience! We look forward to building and learning with you!

SUMMARY:Angel Investing 101: Valuation and Term Sheets
DESCRIPTION:Join the Urban Capital Network for an informative talk regarding due diligence of Angel investment opportunities. \nOne of the most challenging tasks when evaluating a company before it has revenue is determining a value. There are no agreed upon standards\, and often no comparables\, unlike companies that have a longer track record with historical financial statements\, assets\, and revenue. Ultimately\, early-stage valuations are determined through negotiations between investors and founders. Each has their own assumptions\, projections and financial goals. Equipped with tools and a strategy will help you develop a basis for negotiations. Join Urban Capital Network for an introduction to valuation strategies and negotiating deal terms for early-stage investments. \nDuring the session\, you can expect to learn the following: \n\nHow to assess and apply valuation factors and criteria\,\nValuation Methods\,\nTerm sheet basics\,\nNegotiation points.\n\nAbout the speaker \nLenny Saizan is the co-founder and Managing Director of Urban Capital Network (UCN)\, an investment firm dedicated to democratizing premium investment opportunities for a wider range of investors. In addition\, he owns and operates Murphy Business Brokerage – Southwest Houston\, where he assists business owners with exit planning\, value maximization\, and the sale of their businesses. He also supports buyers interested in business acquisitions or franchises. \nBefore establishing UCN and his business brokerage\, Lenny worked for 10 years as an Electrical Engineer\, specializing in automation\, controls\, and systems integration. He then transitioned to the oil and gas industry\, where he spent another decade leading teams in financial and operational controls\, as well as audit. \nLenny holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University and an MBA from Tulane University. He is a Certified Mergers & Acquisition Professional\, a Six Sigma Green Belt\, and a Project Management Professional. In 2023\, he was honored as an Outstanding Diversity Champion by the Houston Business Journal. \n
