From Idea to Acquisition: The Obsorb Story + Build a Tech Startup w/ No Coding
Details
For our June Meetup, we are excited to host 2 young entrepreneurs who've started software companies - without being programmers! It can be done, and here's 2 approaches:
Marshall Haas is a product designer turned serial entrepreneur. He has launched several micro-products, took part in Startup Chile and Arch Grants, and is now leading the Labs division at MetaLab (http://metalabdesign.com/). In this talk we'll hear the story of Obsorb, a software startup he founded that took him around the world, to St. Louis, and finally into an acquisition. Marshall will be departing from STL later this month, so come take this chance to learn from his journey.

Before that, we'll hear a quick talk from StartLouis member Ron Story Jr on "Build a Tech Startup with No Coding". Ron will show how he's creating a suite of multiple software products, using off-the-shelf tools and strategic partnerships. It's pretty cool!

Meetup takes place at the Downtown T-REx (http://downtowntrex.com/) incubator. Parking is available on the street or in the garage (entrance at 7th and Pine). Go to the 12th floor and turn left.
Networking time starts at 6:30, meetup begins at 7. All are welcome // Free of charge.
See you Tuesday June 11!
