RefreshBCS:October - Starting and profitably growing a technology business

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Hey folks, we’re going to be holding our October Refresh at the First National Bank building, home of FIBERTOWN, in downtown Bryan on Wednesday, October 24th, at 7PM.

Join Ed Schipul, from Houston-based Schipul – the Web Marketing Company, as he discusses the highs, lows and in between bits of starting your own technology company. Learn the basic economics of a new business, phases of a Web business and rules of being a billionaire. Are you crazy enough to start your own tech company? Then you definitely need to be here!!!

To find out more about the speaker, see Ed’s CV here: http://www.schipul.com/edcv/

This should be a good talk from someone who’s been in the industry for quite some time.

And by the way, this meeting marks our first 1/2 year (I just did the math!)
