Los Angeles Speaking Series #3: “Mistakes People Make Before Starting a New Business”
As planned, I’ll be hosting monthly presentations/conversations each month throughout 2009 on different topics for entrepreneurs. These are FREE events, and my goal is to help contribute to the Los Angeles Technology Scene by bringing together various entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, social media experts, and professionals in the technology field.
These events are put on in conjunction with our friends at DealMaker Media. TO SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT, CLICK HERE
This month’s talk will be on “10 Mistakes People Make Before Starting a New Business”. This conversation is an in depth look at the pitfalls that arise both before we start businesses and while they are in the startup phase. I wrote this presentation (purposefully harsh/comical) a year ago to help convey some of the mistakes I’ve most commonly seen and made myself.
The format of the speaking series typically includes a 45 minute presentation followed by 45 minutes of questions and answers. And as usual I’ll make sure to bring out some notable CEOs and Investors as guests who know much more than I do.
The event is free and will hold about 140 folks, both previous events sold out. If you are not one of the first 140 to RSVP and confirm, we will have a waiting list.
Here were the past two events (talk #1, talk #2)
Thursday, January 15, 2008 - 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Cost: FREE
This event is capped at 140 attendees.
Confirmation will be required or your spot will be given up for our waiting list.
Santa Monica Public Library (Auditorium) 601 Santa Monica Blvd.

Thanks for putting this together. I’m taking a winter session class and will not be able to make this, but I did email some of my friends from EMS. So you might see a few familiar faces

Great slides, Jason. Think we can get those as part of the mandatory curriculum at Gradziadio? Absolutely worth every burgeoning MBA’s time…not to mention hilarious.
Well done and good luck at the event!
