Failure Fuels Success - Startup Trials and Tribulations

Description

Entrepreneurs are driven, energetic visionaries who build successful companies by the force of their will and unerring perseverance to a brilliant idea and the execution of a flawless plan… Well, driven, energetic, brilliant, persevering and visionary may be great, even accurate descriptors for successful entrepreneurs. However, more often than not, the path to success is marked by assessment and re-assessment of science, technology and markets, and the ups and downs that accompany shifts in strategy or a major business plan pivot. Sometimes, success comes from scrapping a plan altogether and re-booting from scratch.

Join us to learn about some of the trials and tribulations of launching a successful start-up. It isn’t always pretty, but it always is a rewarding learning experience.
