Employee to Entrepreneur: How to Make the Transition to Startup Founder
September 2 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Do you want to start your own technology company, but don’t know where to begin? You are not alone. Every day millions of people go to jobs they don’t enjoy, but few do something about it. At the “Employee to Entrepreneur” event, you can hear the stories, tips, and best practices of those who left their jobs to pursue their own startup company. Listen to the experiences of people just like you who have made the transition, and discuss any questions or concerns that you have. Afterwards, attendees will have an opportunity to network with other aspiring entrepreneurs and share their ideas for feedback.
