Today at Startup Bootcamp, we're focusing on pitching.

 

Our day started with a welcome from Tiesta Tea co-founders Dan Klein and Patrick Tannous, who shared their success story and some tips about how to make the best of Illinois Launch resources. After a few remarks from Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership Assistant Director Amara Andrews and from two Technology Entrepreneur Center reps, the Startup Bootcamp crowd is now anxiously awaiting a keynote speech from business and success expert Steve Kaplan.

 

Be sure to check in here later for updated news about today's activities, and follow us on Twitter @Illinoislaunch. We're live-tweeting from our event from today until Wednesday #UILaunch.
