STARTUP HELPDESK – Virtual Entrepreneurial Roundtable
Date: Every Thursday from 4-5pm via WebEx
RSVP HERE

If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s a good chance that you spend a lot of time working by yourself. You can get into your own head, and you can find yourself stuck without a good team around you. The Startup Helpdesk is a way to regularly participate in mentoring and roundtable discussion with other entrepreneurs that are fighting the good fight along with you! Get support from our Entrepreneurial Center Director, John Fiorello, and get insight and accountability from your peers. This event is ad hock, come when you can or when you need to, and don’t feel guilty if you need to skip a week.

This event is virtual, open to anyone (anywhere in the world), and works off the Business Model Canvas framework.
