Techstars is a global network that’s out to help entrepreneurs and startups succeed through events, accelerators, and other helpful programs, and they’re hosting a Meet and Greet for Las Vegas entrepreneurs on Thursday, August 9th. Attendance is free, and you can RSVP on Eventbrite to reserve your spot. Doors open at 7:00 PM and there will be snacks.
Have you heard of Techstars? We’ve mentioned them on VegasTech before, and they’re the people behind Startup Weekend.
Meet and Greet events like the one on Thursday are your chance to learn more about Techstars accelerator programs, ask questions, and meet the staff who might help you along your startup journey.
For entrepreneurs who are leaning towards participating in an accelerator, you can also schedule office hours. You’ll get 30 minutes one-on-one with a Director so you can discuss your business. To request office hours, click the link on the Eventbrite page.
Here’s what to expect at the Meet and Greet:
