The message hasn’t changed in decades: The heart of the matter is learning to think entrepreneurially and keeping that mindset. It’s not [...]
Kickstand. You missed a good one.
The meeting’s program centered on “pitch” presentations by several of the finalists from the “Speed Dating” competition at Kickstart. However, there were also some announcements, at least one of which I cannot share (but watch the print version of IBR).
