Summer keeps marching along! LaunchUp August is ready to go. Everyone is busy, but come out, we have a solid like a rock event planned, and we continue our Campus Tour at Neumont University in South Jordan. For those of you unfamiliar with Neumont, they only teach digital sciences and computer science programs. So all you entrepreneur lamenting needing technical help, Neumont has several hundred students doing nothing else! And a lot of them (like Ryan and Jason from iActionable) are entrepreneurs too. We’re going to be giving away an Amazon Kindle again! Should be a great event! Come out and support entrepreneurship in Utah! ————————————————————————————————————–

LaunchUp #21: 6:30 p.m.

Amp Session:10 minutes Investing in Emotional Capital Anna Stehrenberger, Founder MarriedToAnEntrepreneur.com. Anna Stehrenberger married an entrepreneur 7 years ago, not knowing what that lifestyle would entail. Just as her Entrepreneur seeks advice from business mentors and associates about the road of Entrepreneurship, Anna desired the same type of guidance as the Spouse of an Entrepreneur and couldn’t seem to find it. So she created MarriedToAnEntrepreneur.com, a company that offers support and insight to the spouses of entrepreneurs. She writes about the amazing adventures, difficult challenges, and the fun roller coaster ride that her life has been as the wife of an Entrepreneur. As part of her company she interviews other spouses of entrepreneurs (from successful to aspiring successful) to get their insight, stories, and advice. Married to an Entrepreneur is also gathering research data via her blog survey as support data for her upcoming book. She hopes to not only to help prepare those who are looking to marry or recently married an entrepreneur, but to also improve the marriages of veteran entrepreneurs as well. She has helped her Entrepreneur in many of his startups from screen print t-shirts in a college apartment to driving Ferraris in a luxury car leasing company and with 8 years of an Entrepreneurial Marriage under her belt she is excited to share her experiences and learn from other spouses as well. She hasn’t always been convinced she loves this life, but she does love the man who loves this life and that makes all the difference.
