The cliche of the e
ntrepreneur is the solitary visionary, up on a mountaintop or buried in a garage, creating the next Apple, Seventh Generation…or Edsel. But even the most focused entrepreneur needs to kick back and talk with others sometimes, and that’s where Triangle Entrepreneurship Week comes in.
This November 14-18, entrepreneurs from all walks of startup business will come together in Raleigh, North Carolina for the first ever Triangle Entrepreneurship Week. Co-founded by Idea Hive member Sarah Wechsberg, the event aims to increase awareness of North Carolina’s startup entrepreneur community, provide a networking platform, and foster creativity. The event focuses on the local entrepreneur ecosystem and brings together entrepreneurs, funding sources, and the local support system for business innovation.
Many sessions have already sold out — a credit to the entrepreneurial vision of the event’s creators — but all are encouraged to check out the sessions on the TEW website. Sarah will be moderating a sold-out session, ”Starting up Green,” featuring two successful local green companies along with the Executive Director of Green Plus, a local green certification company .
Participants will be able to:
- Pitch Investors,
- Obtain actionable information and
- Network with fellow entrepreneurs.
Speakers include Bob Young (Founder, Red Hat/Lulu), John Harthorne (Founder, MassChallenge), Brooks
Bell (Brooks Bell Interactive) and Heather Hesketh (Founder, hesketh.com) among others.
