Cultivating Innovation: Thriving Tech Startups in Unexpected Places

The journey to a successful high-growth startup is less like a well organized major highway and more like a winding back-country road. That road to success seldom runs through smaller cities and rural communities. But, why?

Join us in person for a candid, 1-hour fireside chat led by Michael Seaman, Founder in Residence at Codefi, and hear from a panel of local entrepreneurs who are growing successful tech companies outside major metros – in communities across southern Missouri.

This private event for students, faculty, and staff at SEMO offers an exclusive look at what it really takes to start and scale a tech venture in unexpected places.

What to Expect:

• Hear from startup founders of tech companies in southern Missouri about the challenges they face and how they are overcoming them on a path to success.
• Gain insights into the needs of startup founders and the programs and services that provide them the most value.
• Takeaway anecdotes that may inspire you or help you support and inspire entrepreneurs in your community or region.

Attend this chat to be inspired by innovators making it happen in our own places!
