    Startup Conversations in the Couve

    December Special Guest - Caroline Lewis of Rogue Women's Fund! Caroline identifies all new investment opportunities for Rogue and leverages her previous experience to assist portfolio companies with growth. In addition, she is the Managing Partner of Rogue Women, a Rogue fund investing in early seed-stage women-led companies.

    Caroline will talk about the essentials of Venture Capital and the things entrepreneurs usually never hear until it's too late. You won't want to miss her talk about "Venture Capital 101"!

    About the Startup Conversations Event Each month we host a local founder who will give a short presentation about their company. They will focus on how it all got started, where they are today, and their plans for the future including the challenges they face to make their goals happen.

    Following the presentation our host, Dave Barcos will dig into the founder's background, the company's story, and other observations. After the interview, we will have an audience Q&A session to help attendees ask direct questions of the presenter. It has proven to be a great format to catalyze the local founders and the startups in the region. You won't want to miss it.
