These are intimate, practical, hands-on workshops conducted in a small group setting. Space is limited.

Learn from an angel investor and gain the tools you need to develop your idea, build a team, formulate a strategy, and obtain funding

There are outstanding resources available to help entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground --from accelerators and incubators to the big consulting firms on Page Mill Road.

If you are fortunate enough to have the resources to hire one of these consulting firms, or are able to get into one of these accelerators or incubators, you may be on your way.

However, not everyone has the resources they need to hire a pricey consulting firm. And not everyone can get accepted into highly competitive programs like Y-Combinator.

How does one level the playing field?

These workshops are geared to provide the insight and knowledge a budding entrepreneur needs to get on track for success.
