Now More than Ever

After the resounding success of "State of Entrepreneurship: A VEF Momentum Official Launch Event" with over 175 entrepreneurs of all stripes in attendance, we're pleased to present our next Speaker and Networking Event "Now More than Ever" taking place at 6PM on November 19th at Tunnel Multi-Lounge.

This exclusive event focuses in on how entrepreneurs can not only persevere, but succeed in starting and growing their businesses in these difficult economic times. Barry Jinks, Founder, President & CEO of Colligo Networks believes that the innovation and creativity of young, up-and-coming entrepreneurs can reignite a troubled economy. Barry has started and led a number of technology start-ups including LSI Logic Corporation and Spectrum Signal Processing which he grew from start-up phase to being listed on the NASDAQ and achieving $40MM in annual sales. Barry founded Colligo thereafter and has since been recognized by E&Y as Pacific Region Entrepreneur of the Year and currently serves on a number of Boards.

Barry will share his story of navigating and growing his business through the Dot-Com bust of 2001, and how the young and aspiring entrepreneurs in attendance can refocus their ideas, business plans or established businesses to achieve success in these economic conditions. His informative speech and Q&A will be preceeded and followed by ice-breakers, ample networking time, competitions and other highlights throughout the evening.
The event will officially begin at 6PM and the speech/Q&A session should begin at around 7PM.

What to Expect:

• Tangible, actionable lessons from a successful serial technology entrepreneur.
• Great company made up of a diverse crowd of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and professionals.
• Trendy atmosphere that's comfortable and conducive to networking.
• Complementary first drink included in your ticket price.
• Complementary cover to Tunnel's night event starting later in the evening.
• Refreshments (so arrive early!)
• An all-round good time.
