Event Description:

Entrepreneurship is not always sunshine and rainbows. It's the hard work, the long hours, the close calls, and the nonstop hustle that gives you a winning chance. Even with all that, data shows that 50% of all startups won't make it into their 5th year.

While most of the talk out there is about the wins, we want to pull back the curtain and have the ugly talk. Every successful entrepreneur has their fair share of missteps and missed opportunities. What if we can learn from their experiences and improve our chances of success?

This is exactly why we are hosting this panel discussion. Free to attend and RSVP required. Spots are very limited!  

Panelists:

Founder of Spotivity, a double-sided marketplace that not only supports after school programs to increase enrollment and participation rates but also enables kids and their parents to make the best decisions about how to use time outside of school hours. Spotivity removes key logistical barriers to entry and promotes positive networking opportunities while providing a platform for marketers to engage with a key demographic market. This self-sustainable dynamic app will ultimately evolve into a lifestyle/social tool and grow in importance as the user ages.
