Entrepreneurial MeetUp

The inaugural Meetup for the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship at Montclair State University is scheduled for the evening of June 3, 2013. The event schedule will allow time for networking and will feature two local innovative companies.

One Horn Transportation: The Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) and American Express OPEN recently ranked One Horn Transportation among the 50 Fastest Growing Women Owned/Led companies in North America. Over the past eight years, One Horn has completely reinvented itself from a trucking company that owned its own fleet of tractor-trailers to an agent-based transportation brokerage owning no equipment and operating country-wide using a virtual business model. Hear from Cheryl Biron (http://onehorn.com/leadership/), President/CEO and Louis Biron (http://onehorn.com/leadership/), Chief Operating Officer about how they innovated their business model and grew their company.

StartupValley: Daryl Bryant, Co-founded and CEO of StartupValley will talk about his newest crowdfunding venture. Expected to fully launch in early 2013, StartupValley will be a full functioning portal that will allow tech startups and businesses to raise capital for their company through the power of the crowd. Non-accredited investors will be able to provide early-stage investments in tech-based businesses in exchange for an equity share in their company. Daryl Bryant (http://www.startupvalley.com/MoreInfo/StartupValley-Team.htm), has spent the past fifteen years working in internet and technology and is well-versed in search, social media, mobile and web development. Daryl is also a managing partner at Hudson Venture Partners, SammyHelps, Ticketini, and Order Windows Online.
