2010 Young Entrepreneurs Forum
Posted onPosted on - Monday, February 22, 2010

Every year we seek new opportunities to impact both professionals and students by giving them the experience to interact with successful local and international entrepreneurs. We strive to expose them to best practices, extraordinary success stories and, hopefully, to a collection of experiences that may inspire them to begin their own entrepreneurial journey.

One of our most successful events has been the Young Entrepreneurs Forum (YEF!), a conference dedicated to motivate college students to seriously consider starting a new venture. This year we have invited two young entrepreneurs from Sillicon Valley, Jason Wilk and David Heyerman, Founder and Co-Founder of TinyComb.com. Their success story is an extraordinary example of entrepreneurial courage, passion and determination.

 

Their story will motivate and teach our young entrepreneurs to not only dream but, to execute and achieve.
