This is a great time to start your business! And Entrepreneur University 2008 is the place to be on November 6, 2008.
Lurking within the clouds of this economic downturn are some silver linings for savvy entrepreneurs.
- With unemployment rising, now is the time to recruit good talent that may become available.
- Although capital may be in short supply now, that will change in a year or two and those who start now will be ready.
- Given the lower capital required for early stage ventures, angel investors are always looking for rising stars.
- You can also score great deals on office space, equipment, and other resources in this economy.
Our most recent NWEN Breakfast speaker, Lucinda Stewart of OVP Partners, echoed this notion when she affirmed that now is a great time to start a business.
At EU 2008 you will hear from real-life entrepreneurs who know what it’s like:
- Steve McCracken, CEO of Culture Mob, on “Should I bootstrap or seek investor funding?” (He’s done both.)
- Kabir Shahani, CEO of Appature, on “What about my competition?” (He is carving out a profitable niche among large companies.)
- Pete Parsons, CEO of Fyreball, on “What do investors look for in a business plan?” (He’s done several.)
If you are thinking of starting a business in 2009, you can’t afford to miss EU ’08: Raise Your eIQ, NWEN’s essential summit for the region’s brightest entrepreneurial minds to gain knowledge, insight and creative ideas to elevate their eIQ and their business.
