We are the marinara-muddled minds behind Happy Camper, Homeslice, and Paradise Park. Our brand is glued together by our company culture. We are a highly motivated bunch who seek to create a space where you know you are going to have a good time. We are known for our art-inspired spaces that are great for social gatherings. Our restaurants are wall to wall with lights, murals, and vignettes. Many of our employees have been with the company from the first installment of the brand six years ago and a common thread we share is paying a distinct amount of attention to detail in creating this atmosphere. Currently, we are looking for other folks who would like to grow their careers within the hospitality industry.

The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: 'Alright Sans', Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.265625px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. </p>
