EVENT DETAILS |
<P>Come join a networking event brought to you by the Circle of Young Intrapreneurs & WeWork in the vibrant Soho neighborhood of New York City. During this event we aim to ignite new connections & ideas & grow a network of professionals that want business to do well & do good.</P>
<P><SPAN>Entrepreneurs are individuals who use ideas to start up </SPAN><SPAN>new</SPAN><SPAN> companies. Intrapreneurs are individuals who take start-up ideas & apply them </SPAN><SPAN>within existing</SPAN><SPAN> companies. But all of us -- whether we are inside or outside big corporations -- believe businesses are untapped resources to create world-changing impact. This event will bring together entrepreneurs & intrapreneurs to share ideas & inspire action.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>In the spirit of sparking new ideas, we will include a lightening round pitch session, where local New York social innovators will pitch their ideas in a rapid-fire style. For the Circles growing network of intrapreneurs, the event will offer the chance to strengthen pitching & presentation skills.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>----</SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG>Why connect entrepreneurs & intrapreneurs? </STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN>As intrapreneurs in big corporations, we are no stranger to red tape, or to the at-times slow pace of our companies in testing new models or engaging new market opportunities. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, often have more freedom in testing new ideas, & many are quite familiar with the concept of pitching ideas to potential consumers or funders -- though they may not have the reach, visibility, & established infrastructure of big business. We hope to take this opportunity to learn from each other, in a productive, collaborative session that will help you develop your own idea -- or simply hear about what others are working on.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>---</SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG>Have an idea? Apply to present to the crowd during a lightning round session. </STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN>Anyone is welcome to attend -- from the seasoned intrapreneur or entrepreneur to the curious professional who just wants to learn more. We will also offer a limited number of slots in a lightening presentation session. If you would like to pitch an idea, please send a message to </SPAN><A HREF="mailto:coyi.nyc@gmail.com" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow"><SPAN>coyi.nyc@gmail.com</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P>

<P><STRONG>About the event host:</STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN><SPAN>WeWork</SPAN><SPAN> is a global network of workspaces where companies grow together. </SPAN><SPAN>They </SPAN><SPAN>transform buildings into dynamic environments for creativity, focus, & collaboration. More than just the best place to </SPAN><SPAN>work</SPAN><SPAN>, though, this is a movement toward a new way of living. </SPAN><SPAN>WeWork</SPAN><SPAN> believes that CEOs can help each other, offices can use the comforts of home, & </SPAN><SPAN>we</SPAN><SPAN> can all look forward to Monday if </SPAN><SPAN>we</SPAN><SPAN> find real meaning in what </SPAN><SPAN>we</SPAN><SPAN> do. This event will be held in the WeWork Soho West space. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
