You are invited to the kickoff event for the Karen A. Stout Accelerator Fund Competition. Meet the entrepreneurs from previous Accelerator Fund recipient companies! Learn how to apply for funding in this year’s cycle! Discover how you can become involved with the College’s Start-up boot camp, co-sponsored by Drexel University’s Close School of Entrepreneurship!
Our main attraction is keynote speaker, Rich Thompson. Rich helped create over $3 billion in enterprise value as CEO of American Italian Pasta Company, The Meow Mix Company and Freshpet. He has deep operational experience across multiple disciplines, having helped build each of these organizations, including marketing and sales, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, and innovation infrastructure, and he has supervised the design and construction of 7 manufacturing facilities. With CPG start-ups, one home run can be a lifetime achievement. Rich has helped achieve three of them.
This event will be held in the Parkhouse Hall Atrium on Central Campus and with a simulcast to South Hall 126 - Community Room on West Campus.
This event is free, but you will need to register!
