Lucky Lab

Quick, what’s the difference between an incubator and an accelerator? How can each one help you? And how are they different from a co-working space? Our panel of experts will break it all down for you. They’ll discuss how to pick the right program based on your start-up stage, how to “win” the application, and more.

You’ll learn

• Key differences between an incubator, an accelerator, and a co-working space
• What support you should expect from each
• How to capitalize on what they offer to build your business

On occasion, we have a meet up of FOSS software developers from the low level like the kernel to user space and various others. Join us for fun conversations over beverages and pub food. All are welcome!

We see you. You’ve got that big idea bubbling. Some days it’s all you can think about. It’s the product or service the world really needs and you’re the one who can make it a reality. But what does it take to mold your brilliant idea into a company? What are the steps you take along the way—and where are you likely to trip?

Join us for our June PubTalk and hear from entrepreneurs who have started their journey where you are now, and they’ve turned their ideas from concepts to products and built companies around those products.

Isn’t it time to stop dreaming and build something? Come to our June PubTalk and find the inspiration you’ve been looking to put your idea into action.
