The Boston Entrepreneurs’ Network is launching The Entrepreneurial Minute, (E-Minute) an innovative new program designed to help early stage companies overcome the challenges of growing a successful business.
E-Minute provides early stage companies with an opportunity to present their business challenge directly to angel investors, venture capital firms, service providers and potential partners in attendance at ENET’s monthly networking meetings.
How it works: each month, one or two entrepreneurs will be selected to give a 1-minute overview of their concept and business challenge. The overview includes:
-Name and location of business
-Experience of entrepreneur and management team
-Target market need
-Product or service solution
-Business challenge to providing solution
-The assistance your company is seeking (ex. capital, services, partners, etc.).
You can apply through Vice Chair of Programs Bob Weber at weber@strategykinetics.com. The next meeting is Tuesday, May 2nd, at the ForeFront Conference Center in Waltham, MA. The topic is: “Strategic Alliances & Partnerships.”
