VC Tech is now VC Innovate — a new name for the same great event, now with a broader focus, spotlighting entrepreneurs across all industries, not just tech.
VCInnovate is a meetup designed especially for Arkansas-based entrepreneurs across all industries, not just tech.
At each quarterly VCInnovate meetup, a founder from Arkansas will be featured at a networking event. The founder will have an opportunity to demonstrate how their product works, tell their startup story, and have a direct Q and A with attendees. Business will be followed by food, drinks and networking among fellow entrepreneurs and community members.
Stay tuned for updates announcing our next featured founder and event date. In the meantime, scroll below to check out our latest speakers.
