Later today, Jim Cooper will have office hours at our CSUF Startup Incubator in Placentia. This is the perfect time for entrepreneurs to talk with Jim about any issues they are facing and I wouldn’t be surprised if those who attend come out of their quick session with Jim with a great idea or two that they can start working on immediately. Office hours are free and they are one-on-one meetings; so come with your ideas or just to chat.
Details for these office hours are below and please go here to register.
Launching a business can be an extremely difficult thing to do, especially if you haven’t done something like it before. That’s why we are making office hours with CSUF Startup Incubator mentor and speaker Jim Cooper available.
During these office hours, entrepreneurs will have the chance to sit down with experienced startup mentor Jim Cooper for a half an hour to get help with their business. A half an hour may not seem like a long time but Jim is full of ideas and advice and we’re sure that he’ll be able to help your business.
To make an appointment, please click the registration button above and pick the half hour timeslot that works the best for you.
(One note of caution: Help provided during office hours is limited to the time available during office hours and to get the best results out of this time we strongly recommend that you have a more permanent mentor, like the ones that are attached to our Residents at the CSUF Startup Incubator.)
