    A Fireside Chat for Startup Communities

    Virtual

    A special fireside chat for startup communities with Brad Feld and Eric Ries.

    Eric has a new book coming out on May 26 called Incorruptible. It's about how to build companies that stay mission-driven over the long term. While The Lean Startup helps entrepreneurs create valuable organizations, Incorruptible covers how and why to protect them.

    Brad Feld is the author of Startup Communities and co-founder of TechStars. He recently published a new book called Give First: The Power of Mentoring.

    In this virtual fireside chat, Brad and Eric will discuss the lessons learned as founders, investors, and advisors. The goal is to share useful insights and practical frameworks to accelerate your learning.
