The startup sessions will have a topic and an area expert providing key insights and knowledge regarding the topic in a 20-30 minute seminar format. After the main seminar, the UW School of Law's Entrepreneurial Law Clinic will present "Equity Allocation." Afterwards, the attendees will break into working sessions to engage with the topic as it relates to them. All seminars will be video captured and live streamed. Light refreshments will be served. These sessions are open to the public and you do not have to be currently affiliated with UW or a startup to join. We hope to see you there! |
