1 Million Cups in ATX on Aug 7
The Forrest Four-Cast: August 5, 2019
On Wednesday morning August 7 at 8:45 am, attend the Austin Chapter of the 1 Million Cups entrepreneurial networking program at the Walmart Technology Center (409 Colorado St).
As the title implies, this free gathering provides for a cup of coffee and a community-centered approach to helping startups answer that one question that is stumping their new business.
Presentations start at 9am sharp so come a few minutes early to grab a cup of coffee and settle in. Each founder’s presentation lasts six minutes and is followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience. After the question-and-answer session, the presenter is always asked this question: “What can we, as a community, do to help you?”
The two startups that will be presenting on the morning of August 7 at the Walmart Technology are Vouch and Flyght Club.
Sponsored by the Kaufman Foundation, 1 Million Cups is a free, nationwide program designed to educate, engage and accelerate early-stage startups. RSVP here to ensure your spot at the Wednesday, August 7 event in Austin.
