Hey everyone! ?? I can't stop thinking about our last Founders' Friday at EdVenture Park. What an incredible event! ?? As a Campus Lead, I've seen firsthand how EdVenture Park is changing the game for students. Founders' Friday isn't just an event - it's where ideas come to life. ???? The energy in the room was amazing. ?? People from all backgrounds came together, sharing their dreams and supporting each other. The networking was buzzing with excitement, and the pitches? Wow. The passion and creativity on display were truly inspiring. ???? What really struck me was how Founders Friday creates a safe space for young entrepreneurs. It's where you can share your wildest ideas and get genuine feedback and support. I saw shy students transform into confident speakers, and strangers become potential business partners. ???? EdVenture Park is more than just a startup incubator. It's a community that believes in the power of young minds to change the world. ?? Being part of this has changed me too. I've grown more confident, more innovative, and more determined to make a difference. And get ready, because our next Founders' Friday is going to be extra special! It's Founders' Friday x Business Showers. We're not just showcasing ideas - we're launching companies into the ecosystem! ???? This is where dreams become real businesses. Don't miss it! If you're a student with a big idea, or even just a spark of one, come to our next Founders Friday. You might just find the inspiration and connections you need to turn that idea into reality. Thank you Meraj Faheem for this incredible place and the FF Leads who makes Founders Friday possible. You're not just supporting startups - you're shaping the future. ???? #FoundersFriday #EdVenturePark #StudentStartups #DreamBig #BusinessShowers #flywithevp

The Days Of Innovation are here, thanks to TechCrunch Early-Stage and BNT/Prepare 4 VC's premier support of the conference with several special side events. Friends... I'm going to share a two-part story with you -- and one that represents a new era for Boston New Technology, Dropbox DocSend, and the startup community. The first -- the development of a great partnership with Shruti Singapur, which stretches back a very long time thanks to Jason Kraus. The second, the simultaneous development of a brand new kind of free resource for entrepreneurs by BNT spearheaded by Marsh Sutherland and Rhoda Serafim called Precision Pitch Practice. The result: As Precision Pitch Practice, which has been entirely virtual, grew and evolved -- I introduced the concept to Shruti and she loved it. Why Precision Pitch Practice Matters: The consistency of a once-weekly gathering of bright minds in a safe space, where entrepreneurs can freely practice and improve their presentation skills. Unburdened and fluff-free, Precision Pitch Practice has produced real results and now it's coming to life in-person thanks to our friends at Venture Lane | Startup Hub (h/t Kristina Gomez and team) next Wednesday starting at 5PM EST. That's not all however. This completely free-event also features a comprehensive pitch analysis session offered by Justin Izzo and a BNT Startup Showcase with four female founders building amazing solutions. Are you hungry? You're in the startup industry so the default answer is yes. We've intentionally selected BoardsbyMo and WhoozCooking as our food sponsors - two amazing business leaders whose good intentions enrich their offerings. Is this event for you? Whether you want to attend to watch and connect with others... Practice your pitch/get your deck analyzed... Take part in the showcase as an expert panelist... All you have to do is register. https://lnkd.in/e--GNwyQ #Founders?#PrecisionPitchPractice #EarlyStage #TSEarlyStage #bostonstartups

According to Startups Magazine, investors prefer backing companies with multiple founders because they consider them more viable and less risky. More so, partners can often complement each other's skills. That is not to say solo founders are destined to struggle, but if you are an aspiring entrepreneur, understanding the how, what and why behind finding a co-founder or business partner is vital. Therefore, you are invited to dial in and join a special hybrid discussion with serial founder Robert Gelb and Natalie Hotchkiss from CodeBase tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17 from 5:30 - 7:30pm. Attend online or in-person at CodeBase Edinburgh. As they dig into the nitty gritty of all things co-founders, you can expect to learn?practical tools and tips?to help you on your co-founder search, as well as?prompts to reflect on your startup vision?as a way to guide you when connecting with a potential co-founder.
