Here are all the details about the fifth LaunchUp, our community “barn raising” and energizing event for entrepreneurs.

*** Special Giveaway for Female February!! ***

We need women. Seriously. At LaunchUp #4 in January, we had 3 women in attendance out of 63 total. If we get at least 15 (5X growth) women entrepreneurship and technology enthusiasts at our February event, we’ll give away a Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera to a lucky lady!! We’re going to do a better job of getting the vibrant Utah female entrepreneur/tech community involved with LaunchUp, and if bribes help, so be it.

Consider this our “Female February” kickoff to have better representation going forward.

And if we can get more women than men: I’ll buzz my head for the March LaunchUp.

We have another sublime event planned with 3 radical companies.

Please help us spread the word!

Remember, we stream the event live at http://www.launchup.org/live and make it as inclusive as possible to anyone, even if you cannot attend in person.

We are also building a list of those that want to support first-time technology entrepreneurs in Utah. You can join our community. It will help us track those that want to help, and your name/link will be published real time on the community page.
