This fall is packed with events and speakers aimed at supporting and educating students.
We have launched two programs that promote innovative thinking and entrepreneurial action. You can read more about the
Deacon Springboard below. Stay tuned for next month's newsletter featuring the newly launched
Start Up Lab that is supplemented by a three hour class starting in January!
We have several events coming up: one this week on Thursday, November 10, will feature a panel discussion on "Concept to Company: Building and Financing a Successful Entrepreneurial Venture." Speakers include a successful CEO of a Raleigh based company, financial and strategic venture investors, and an attorney specializing in investment deals, who all participated in recently announced $8 million financing. It's not too late to
RSVP for this!
Next week on November 16, we are hosting the
Triad Discovery Forum in the Kulynych Auditorium of the Bryum Welcome Center. The GOAL of the
Triad Discovery Forum is to inspire, support and connect young professionals who share a strong interest in impacting the community through social entrepreneurship. 10 teams from the triad will have a chance to pitch their idea. Apply to pitch your idea
