REMINDER: The First 18 Months is one week away!

Come join us in one week to hear John Schveibinz lead the second ENTR Workshop of the semester. He will share insights on taking an idea to a successful launch.

This workshop will be held on October 14 at 12:00 pm in entreSpace, located in Academic Services, room 139.

Event Description: The path from idea, to successful idea, to successful launch has many important steps. The latest startup ideas emphasize "lean" as a driving concern. What is a "lean" startup and why is it important? What are the steps to launch a business using "lean" startup techniques?
