The Early Stage Company Pitch will spotlight one start-up each month. The Fireside chat session will get in the trenches with a successful entrepreneur who will share first-hand experiences and perhaps some outlandish secrets, so other entrepreneurs may discover valuable lessons learned. The speakers will vary but the format will remain close to the following schedule:
