VIRTUAL MEETUP: Jessica Corbin – The Entrepreneur’s Path To Resilience: How your personal obstacles help you achieve founder market fit

Your obstacles aren’t in the way, they ARE the way! Your personal challenges, frustrations or even crises are what led you to having your “light bulb” moment that set you on the entrepreneurial journey. Ultimately, you will find that the tribulations you encounter while bringing your dream to life will empower you to achieve founder-market fit. In this workshop you will learn: • The hidden place to look to when you stop making progress • The “secret sauce” lies in how you solve your own problem • The importance of staying true to your story • How to manage your energy for the journey ahead

VIRTUAL MEETUP: Gillian Delaunay: Celebrating a ‘Not Normal’ Founder Journey Into Disruptive Tech

A waitress, a stewardess on a billionaire's yacht, a celebrity nanny, a fitness instructor- but I was always the Founder and CEO of a disruptive tech company. How passion and ingenuity gives you the special sauce to solve a problem no one else can. Join Gillian on a journey to banish imposter syndrome and to celebrate YOUR unique disruptions. Bottom line: You are meant to share your uniqueness with the world for our species survival, not maintain industry bubbles.

ABOUT OUR MEETUP

These are weekly coffee meet-ups to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:15am to 9:30am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
