Fruitbowl - Fresh Ideas from Hawke's Bay

A couple of times a week I get asked to catch up for a coffee to talk about a business and things like raising money, getting started offshore, finding good people and those sort of things.

I just don't have time these days to do much of that and in 20 minutes we're not going to cover much ground. So for the last few years I've been wanting to do my own event and spend a day with a number of companies wanting to accelerate - and get them networking to help each other out.

I've found it's all about going fast -  really fast, thinking outside the box and executing.  This interactive workshop format will allow us to cover the ground quickly and get to the things that you don't read about in text books.

We also thought it would be useful to give upcoming people and companies the full Bay experience -which you'll see we've done in the program.

So Accelerate 2010 has come together and we're now accepting registrations:

For the first year I'm stoked to have Andy Lark join us.

Thanks to Mogul for the great Website (delivered at speed) and Venture Hawke's Bay for your support. Thanks so much to Odette for arranging the event and logistics.
