Fireside Chat: Building a Winning Startup

Join us for an inspiring, educational and interactive session as we share a conversation among four innovative and entrepreneurial trailblazers who’ve been there and done that successfully. Darlene Boudreaux (former pharma CEO and Executive Director of TechFW, now founder of BoudreauxBDX), John Hanak (Managing Director of Purdue Ventures and co-founder of The Purdue Foundry), Scott Koorndyk (President of TEC Dayton, one of the nation’s hottest SBIR funding success stories), and Wendy Kennedy (founder of the winning design methodology for innovators and entrepreneurs known as So what? who cares? why you?®) will come together to share insights and perspectives from their collective decades of personal entrepreneurial experience and lending assistance to fellow entrepreneurs.

This founder-focused group will share insights on designing high impact commercialization endeavors, securing funding, building scalable startups and a host of other topics relevant to entrepreneurs. Please join us and come prepared with questions as there will be plenty of opportunities to join the conversation.
