Making a Venture Pop!

I am leaving this afternoon for Newport RI for the first ever Newport Startup Session.

Newport Startup Session is your opportunity to enter the local startup community by working alongside founders from exciting new ventures in the higher education sector. Spend nine days working on projects that will give you an accelerated experience of what working at a startup is like. You’ll be joined by students from other Rhode Island colleges and universities with diverse educational backgrounds and skill sets who share a common interest in innovation in higher education. 

I’m really excited about the program. You can follow along via my twitter @harrisroberts or the program @bridge_ri using the hashtag #startupcampus. I will post an update and photos at the conclusion of the program. Keep checking my blog this week.  I have a few posts lined up, depending on how busy I am.
