Join us for CTN Meetup #5!
Topic: Startup Talks Series: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
During this meetup learn from three active tech founders and a key leader in the angel investment space on what they, and others, did right and didn't do right when starting their venture. Learn from the successes, set backs and the squishy stuff in the middle!
These first had stories will equip you with insights, ideas and lessons learned from entrepreneurs that have been there done that and are still there and doing it! Stories that can potentially help you chart a successful path to start and grow your business OR help those that are. This, don't miss in-person, event is designed to help you make connections, improve your knowledge and dig deeper into the mind of the entrepreneur... well not too much but you get the picture! Plus, we'll ask them to discuss what core technologies they use in their business today that help them operate and grow their business.
