No, that is not a misspelling; it is just lunch.
You have read me discussing Mike Colwell in this blog before. Mike is a friend of Des Moines area entrepreneurs and is currently assisting several start-ups reach their maximum potential. Mike is not the kind of guy who does your fishing for you. He teaches you how to fish. He is an expert guide with lots of experience. What places him above most others in his field is that he will tell you if he does not think your project has the “Right Stuff.” The words may be harsh to hear, but they could just guide you toward another entrepreneurial venture with a better fit and a greater potential.
If you want to meet Mike, sign up for the Business Innovation Zone’s (BIZ) first networking event on Wednesday August 22nd from Noon to 1:30. If you are interested, be sure to RSVP by the end of business today, Monday, August 20th. The event will be in the Arthur Davis conference room at the Greater Des Moines Partnership at 700 Locust St in Des Moines. The featured speaker will be Steven Smith, President and CEO of GCommerce. He will be talking about early stage equity funding for startup business, and what has changed in recent years.
Lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of time for networking. The cost for the event is $8 for members, and $12 for non-members. Sign up now by emailing Mike at mcolwell@desmoinesmetro.com
Hope to see you there!
