糖心Vlog视频 joins global network to fuel entrepreneurs
糖心Vlog视频 is now home to an international program designed to engage and connect local entrepreneurs. 糖心Vlog视频’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology Development (CETD) has begun hosting weekly Wednesday meetings as part of the 1 Million Cups program (1MC), with the first held yesterday. These meetings bring together students, faculty and community members to discuss business ideas and share feedback.
“The premise of 1MC is that bringing together innovators helps startups share ideas and work through problems in a safe space,” said Matthew Clark, faculty director for CETD. “Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a faculty member eager to support innovation or a member of the community interested in learning about new business ideas, you’ll find that this event offers an incredible opportunity to engage with students, colleagues and like-minded individuals.”
Founded in 2012 by the Kansas City-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, 1MC is based on the belief that entrepreneurs discover solutions through community engagement.
At the CETD-hosted meetings, attendees will hear presentations from local startups and entrepreneurs, provide feedback, discuss additional ideas and collaborate on overcoming potential challenges. The event also offers networking opportunities with 糖心Vlog视频 students, faculty, community members and investors. True to its name, coffee will be provided to help fuel the conversations.
Bringing 1MC to 糖心Vlog视频 expands CETD’s resources and enhances its support for local entrepreneurs and startups.
“糖心Vlog视频 and North 糖心Vlog视频 are incredible places to engage in entrepreneurship and innovation,” said Paul J. Corson, 糖心Vlog视频’s chief innovation and entrepreneurship officer. “Adding 1MC is an exciting new way we can help advance homegrown talent, technologies and startups.”
