Portals of Discover: Lessons Learned at Startup

Entrepreneurial success is often celebrated, with much attention given to the strategies that led to success - and rightfully so. Yet, venture capitalists distribute their funds across numerous ventures, anticipating substantial gains while acknowledging the inevitability of setbacks. Several successful entrepreneurs had a few failures in their background. During this session, we will hear from a VC and entrepreneur about the mistakes they have made and seen. Drawing lessons from their failures equips entrepreneurs in the room with valuable insight into potential pitfalls to steer clear of on their path to success.

Speakers: Eric Kline, Randy Eager, Mike Green

6:00-7:00 p.m.
