Essential as it may be, it is unlikely that the MIT Forum is the only resource that an entrepreneur will need along the way. This Tuesday’s event was created by successful entrepreneurs for earlier stage entrepreneurs to guide them to resources that turned out to be valuable finds along their path to success. This panel will share their insights on how to go about finding new resources and how to use them. Chances are the panel has overcome problems you are about to face as you grow your company. Please bring questions as this will be an interactive event. The forum will include insights from the panelists followed by a moderated question and answer session to address your specific startup commercialization or growth questions.
The Houghton Host Site is sponsored by MTU’s Innovation and Industry Engagement, School of Business and Economics, the Houghton SmartZone and the Keweenaw Alliance For Economic Development.
