• Wine, Cheese, Refreshment and Networking
• Seminar 1: The entrepreneurial ecosystem is inefficient, disconnected and not working for the majority of entrepreneurs.
Globally, entrepreneurs, investors and talent are having trouble finding the right connections and funding they need in the ecosystem. Entrepreneurs struggle to find financial and human capital. Investors face a firehose of unqualified applicants. Alternative financing, such as crowd funding or security tokens, is only considered by 11% of entrepreneurs. Talent cannot match demand and HR solutions haven’t kept pace with the Gig economy and fractional workers.
Our search for solutions force entrepreneurs to navigate a landscape of partial solutions like LinkedIn, Angel List, Indeed, Meetup Groups and many more closed communities that don’t deliver the solutions that each stakeholder needs.
• One hour - Networking session with entrepreneurs from various industries
• Seminar 2: Entrepreneurship Mindset;
The Psychology of Developing, Organizing and Managing a Business
Entrepreneur and Solopreneur / Psychological Capital / Managing or Leading
