No one ever said entrepreneurship was easy. From finding the right co-founder to getting your first multi-million dollar round of funding, we deal with A LOT along the way. And, believe it or not, Google doesn’t always have all the answers to your questions!
That is why we teamed up with some amazing local Chicago entrepreneurs who have committed so much of their time (not to mention hard-earned dollars) into building their own businesses.
For our event, Entrepreneurship & The Growth of Something Great, we have invited entrepreneurs at different stages of their businesses to participate in an informative and exciting panel.
We want to shy away from some of those commonly asked questions that we hear at other panel discussions, but to go one step further and drill deeper into our entrepreneurs’ minds.
PLUS, the audience will have abundant time to ask their own questions.
