If you enjoyed Gnomedex and are excited about the prospects of starting your own business (or growing your startup!) check out NWEN’s Entrepreneur University.

On Thursday, November 5, attend and be inspired by nationally recognized speakers and local heroes – and be put to work. With four interactive workshops peppered throughout the day, get your hands dirty wrestling with such challenges as “Will the dog eat the dog food? “How do I finance this puppy?” “How can I give my elevator pitch a lift?” and “How can I harness social media and take the power to the people?”.

There will also be a 90-minute session in which you can sit down with an investor one-on-one in the always-popular VC Bistro. Or, you can sign up for a lunch date with experts in raising money, marketing, sales, law and entrepreneurship.
