The Game Plan: You bring yourself. We bring the cool vibe and drinks. 3-4 entrepreneurs share their failures — each speaker gets 6:40, for 10 images or 40 seconds each. You ask them questions. We unite at 7pm, say goodbye at 9pm, and reunite every other month.
The speakers sharing their candid stories:
