Free, weekly program developed by the Kauffman Foundation helps build startup communities nationwide
Claremore, Oklahoma launched 1 Million Cups in February of this year– a national program to engage, educate and connect local entrepreneurs. 1 Million Cups — based on the notion that entrepreneurs network and discover solutions over a million cups of coffee — is a free gathering that helps to build startup communities on a grassroots level.
The next presentations will take place on June 7th, 2017. Entrepreneurs, innovators, funders and other interested community members are invited to attend the next presentations from 8:30am to 9:30 a.m. at She Brews Coffee House, located at 414 W Will Rogers Blvd in beautiful Downtown Claremore. 1 Million cups Claremore welcomes presenters from surrounding areas!
The program’s model is consistent in each city: At each event two early-stage startups present their companies to an audience of mentors, advisers and other entrepreneurs. Each founder presents for six minutes, followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience.
This month’s presenters are:
John Pardue and Brad Lewis from Standard Panel. They will be talking about their unique and versatile building systems utilizing Structural Insulated Panels and another exciting project they have starting in the Claremore area.
