Like an Eagle in flight honed in on dinner on the ground, you have identified a gap in the world. You know what’s missing and you have the execution plan all plotted out in your mind. You have the next big product, service or social innovation… My advice?
If you live in Northeastern Pennsylvania, affectionately known as NEPA, and you dream of being an entrepreneur, I challenge you to stop thinking of all the reasons you can’t turn your dreams into reality and find out how you can, July 30 – August 1, at NEPA StartUp Scramble, at the University of Scranton, Kania School of Management.
We are very fortunate to have a region with an ingrained, developed and encouraged entrepreneurial culture. Keystone Edge has featured the region several times in recent years, and even suggested we are a mini “silicon”. The NEPA StartUp Scramble provides a welcome additional platform to pitch and launch entrepreneurial ideas.
For the investment in yourself of $75 for a weekend of collaboration, candid coaching and tools to move your ideas from the dream to proposal stage and beyond toward implementation, if you don’t do this you just don’t want it bad enough.
I’m delighted to have been invited to be a featured guest by Stephen Douglass, Chief Impact Officer of Young Impact, along with local and national sizzling entrepreneurial super stars. I’ll be there among all the talent talking about the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.. Join us to see if you have what it takes!
Stable small businesses are becoming the strength of our region. ~ Faith D. Clark
This is gonna be very exciting!
I can't wait to experience the energy in the room - a bunch of creative and talented minds in one room with a common goal.. The perfect storm! Stephen and I have a call tomorrow with John A. to see how we can muster some additional support for the event too =)
The Startup Scramble is going to be such a great opportunity for the entrepreneur needing that one (or bunch of) thing(s) to help them get their ideas off the ground. The evolution of the NEPA area has grown into such a tremendous area to give birth to and incubate a business (especially online businesses). I wish I had the opportunity when starting my venture to go to an event where big timers such as Kris Jones, Pete Kamali, Andrew Cornell and yourself were offering up experience and guidance first hand! I can't wait to be a part of it with you and the rest of our colleagues!
