We recently hosted a #StartupChats on leveraging your community and it seemed like the conversation was just getting started, lots of great tips and advice flowing! For this reason we’ve decided to continue the conversation during this month’s Google Hangout.
Being able to leverage the support your community can offer, be it through investors, lead generation, and/or synergy development, should be a top priority for any entrepreneur. Having champions who will support you, mentors who will help you, can have a huge impact on the growth of your startup. But to find these people you need to be able to take advantage of your community by getting involved. How can you access all the benefits your community has to offer? What are some tips for staying up-to-date on what is happening in your community?
Join Startup Canada, Intuit Quickbooks Canada and a panel of entrepreneurs and experts from across Canada for a national Google Hangout on Monday, April 6, 2015, covering how you can leverage your community. Bring your questions and ideas and follow along live on Twitter using #StartupLIVE.
