That’s why we have a monthly forum where you can ask questions and get guidance from five highly experienced angels and venture capitalists. They’ll help you build the billion-dollar company you’ve been dreaming of. \nThis session is super important because building a seed stage company\, an A stage company\, or a unicorn takes a special kind of founder. Our experts will answer the hard questions and give you tips to navigate the road ahead. Don’t miss out on this chance to learn from the pros and take your startup to the next level! \n​Agenda: \n\n​6:00 PM – Mingle\n​6:30 PM – 7:30 PM – Investor Panel\n​7:30 PM – 9:00 PM – Networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMEET OUR GUESTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRon D Silverton is a serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of professional experience in the financial services and software industries across 3 continents.
