About the event
Up and Running
Hosted by the Metro Region Innovation Hub and HERE, this is a first-of-its-kind, day-long conference to help founders and tech startups navigate the obstacle course of early stage business development.
Seeking Investment capital? A brand strategy? Wondering about your sales funnel? No matter your challenge, this is the place to get you past the confusion. Experts and prospective business partners in multiple disciplines will be on hand for you to learn from, huddle with, and grow your local network.
The day will feature panel discussions, presentations, Q&A sessions and 1-on-1 advising with business investors and professional service consultants.
This mini-conference is best suited for early stage startups that involve technology-based innovation. As this is an educational conference, pitching, selling, and solicitations will be prohibited.
