LaunchMemphis has pledged to the Mid-South that we will host and organize dynamic and valuable events to support technology entrepreneurship. From investment forums to BarCamps, Startup Weekends to networking sessions, LaunchMemphis has delivered on the mission.
But some may wonder what is the value in holding and attending these events. I am sure there are many local skeptics who believe that such events have only social value or that they turn out to be self-congratulatory sessions of what has been done, not where things are going -- providing no real value. Nonetheless, for those that are focused on the prize of entrepreneurship and economic growth -- the future and business oriented -- events can yield great value.
Here are some of the value points of attending LaunchMemphis events:
* Learn something new or clarify and refine your knowledge of entreprenuership and technology
* Give away information that will be valued in the community
* Interact with prospective clients and customers around a potential product or service offering
* Get connected to the right people for the right stage of your business from investors to free consulting resources
* Find like minds and talk with thought leaders
* Recruit a developer or sales and marketing expert to grow your startup.
Feel free to comment and disagree or add to this listing. Be interesting to know if Memphians are finding value in LaunchMemphis.
