Entrepreneurs and inspiring entrepreneurs are invited to learn the good, the bad and the ugly of entrepreneurship at the next Catapult Tech Network meet up.

‘Startup Talks: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’ will take place Thursday, May 26 starting at 6:00 p.m. at CTRE Productions’ Old Bank Studio at 881-889 2nd Ave. W. in Owen Sound. The in-person event is free to attend and open to any entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs.

“Entrepreneurship often gets billed as being “cool,” and while the opportunity to be your own boss is exciting, we also know it’s challenging. We’re going to explore these ups and downs through first-hand accounts from three active tech founders and an angel investor,” said Catapult Tech Network Development Lead Chris Herbert.
