eworkforce will be participating in Start-Up Connection on Tue May 8th.

The goal of Start-Up Connection is to be a primary networking forum to introduce new business innovators and new IT and bioscience company owners to the entrepreneurial eco-system in the greater St. Louis region. Successful entrepreneurs know that in order to achieve success, having access to such people and networks – whether it be potential employees, advisors, financiers, mentors, customers, or service providers – is crucial.

The innovators presenting their ideas and companies at Start-Up Connection are the people who create emerging technologies and applied science. They are in the early stages of commercializing and marketing products that can change the way we live.

Start-Up Connection introduces these innovators to the people of the entrepreneurial eco-system in the St. Louis region who assist and enable these entrepreneurs along their path to success.

eworkforce has been invited to participate in the Gateway to Innovation Entrepreneurial Showcase as an ITEN sponsored company.  The annual Gateway to Innovation conference brings great IT leaders and thinkers from across the nation and the St. Louis region to inspire, collaborate and maintain a competitive advantage.  G2I 2012 will explore the drivers of growth and innovation in St. Louis IT market. Interactive break-out sessions with regional executives and industry leaders will address the convergence of IT with other business imperatives. The popular demonstration area and innovation showcase will return featuring exciting technologies and companies. Exceptional keynote speakers will kick off and wrap up the program, and attendees can enjoy the evening gala and awards program celebrating local leaders in IT innovation and fostering the region’s most significant economic cluster.

The IT Entrepreneur Network (ITEN) is an initiative of the St. Louis IT Coalition andInnovate St. Louis started in April of 2008 to be a catalyst for the emergence of a thriving and robust entrepreneurial community that creates successful IT ventures.

Last week we participated in the InvestMidwest Venture Capital Forum.  At the conference I was interviewed by Fox 2′s Charles Jaco on why St. Louis is a good city to start a company.  Note in the interview Jim McKelvey, founder of Square.  Jim is a St. Louis native and participated in a fireside chat as part of the lunch presentation.

 



I am happy to announce we have been asked to present at InvestMidwest on Thursday April 5th.  InvestMidwest is a venture capital conference that showcases 40-45 companies from throughout the Midwest in the three industry tracks of life sciences, technology and clean energy/sustainability.  The 300+ attendees include investors from top venture capital firms.
