Here are all the glorious details about the first LaunchUp, our community barn raising event for entrepreneurs. We’re going to stream the event live and make it as inclusive as possible to anyone, even if you cannot attend in person. This way, during the featured company’s presentation and the moderated deep dive/community conversation, anyone, anywhere, can participate. We have a great event planned with 2 great companies that need/want our help.

If you want to participate in the community discussion during the event, and especially during the 2 company Barn Raisings, you must be online. Even if you’re at the event in person. There will not be any Q&A/feedback mechanism except the online chat that coincides with the live video stream. So bring your laptops! I hope we have a room full of them.

We’re then going to record that chat discussion and we’re hoping that provides a great resource to the entrepreneurs. Ultimately, this event will be the starting point for helping to raise the barn, with hopefully lots of follow-up interaction.
