Thank you to Rob Tiffany⚡️, Pradnya Desh, Ryan James, PhD, Estelle Giraud, and Joseph Williams for joining us in the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship's Business plan practicum class. A few takeaways: 💜 Really fall in love with the problem first 💜 Solve a problem that's a fire! not just a nice to have 💜The team you build should be based on trust and connections 💜Government has LOTS of opportunities Then specifically for healthcare startups, because of the complexity, connect with others who have successful built a healthcare company. Here's to the future builders!

Save the date.

What a blast to be helping connect two icons of the region's innovation ecosystem in one of those win-wins you cherish. The YBMA has been a standout for inspiring young minds (as well as some of the older ones in the audience!) to be the change they want to see in the world. Meanwhile the Hunter Innovation Festival knows that to create meaningful change we need a connection to our communities and a pathway that inspires emerging minds. And it's not just lip service - we mean action! We all know what it's like after the buzz of an innovation event to return to regular programming. So we're talking meaningful engagement: invitations to follow-up events, introductions to potential collaborators, and mentorship from those a few steps ahead.

The first 50 people to use promo code "23RALLY13" will receive 60% off their ticket to the Rally Innovation conference. This is a must-see event. Why? 1. It’s not your typical conference agenda. Rally will have a diverse mix of activities including 1:1 investor meetups and a demo area. 2. You'll create relationships with venture capitalists and early product adopters that will accelerate business growth. 3. You'll have the opportunity to discover technological breakthroughs outside your industry to get inspired to drive breakthroughs of your own. Convinced? So are we. We'll see you there! https://hubs.ly/Q01Zsj6X0

Gosh, often work feels like... well, work. And then sometimes, it feels completely magical and makes all the Mondays worth it. Last Thursday was a day like that for me. We hosted our first in-person ceremony for the winners of the Will Reed's Top 100 Culture Award for Seed & Series A founders. 60+ of us gathered to celebrate and reconnect with our "why" behind our ventures. Every single detail was engineered to help founders experience a night of authenticity and a safe place to step "outside" their ventures for a night to explore new mental models and ideas. A few examples: - Name tags had only names, not ventures listed - No VCs were invited in Year 1 - The evening opened with small group discussions, giving the gift of transition - We intentionally held the ceremony in a venue that's off the "tech circuit" to step outside routine Truly in awe of these founders and what they're building. The future is in good hands. Just getting started 💪 #WillReedTop100 #Top100TheExperience

🚀 Our Monumental Kick-off with Eton College and Thames Valley Learning partnership 🚀 On 21/09, we embarked on a historic partnership with the renowned Eton College with over 100 participants. Our kick-off week was charged with energy and engagement. We delved into essential questions that every entrepreneur encounters right from the outset: 1️⃣ How does one pinpoint a groundbreaking business idea? 2️⃣ Once identified, what's the roadmap to monetizing it? These discussions set an invigorating tone for our program. And here's something to look forward to: we're contemplating a live Q&A session, diving deeper into these topics. Stay tuned for more details. If our kick-off week resonated with you or if you share our passion for fostering innovation, give us a thumbs-up 👍. If you know someone who would benefit from this discourse, please get in touch. #EtonInnovators #StartupJourney #BusinessInsights #EntrepreneurshipEducation
