Talk startups with RJ Metrics, Cloudmine, Neat Co. and Inhabi at Tales of a Philly Entrepreneur presented by PACT and TP

If Switch Philly is the event to see up-and-comers, Tales of a Philly Entrepreneur is all about the grizzled veteran. A handful of local startups, all at different phases of the startup life-cycle, will be on hand to participate in a panel discussion about creating a growing tech business in Philly. Click here to get your tickets.

Presented with our friends at PACT and Woodcock Washburn, listen to Brendon McCorkle of Cloudmine, Robert Moore of RJ Metrics, Kevin Garton of Neat Co. and Jameel Farruck of Inhabi talk about what it’s like to create a successful startup in Philadelphia and to dispel the myth that Philadelphia isn’t “startup friendly.” More speakers will be announced as the event nears on April 24th.

Take a half day during Philly Tech Week to hear from the speakers and chat with your fellow entrepreneurs in the Cira Center, one of the city’s most beautiful buildings (don’t get us started about the view).

The speakers will be on hand to tell tales in a panel discussion moderated by Technically Philly  and answer your questions about bootstrapping, funding, scaling and exiting here.

Afterward we’ll all get together for a few drinks. Interested? Get your tickets now. Special discounts for entrepreneurs and PACT members.
