Dear E-Club,
TigerLaunch will be having its first workshop tomorrow evening in the Mathey Private Dining Room from 6:30-7:30 PM. Mr. Darren Hammell (President and CEO of Princeton Power Systems) will be running the workshop on how to take the necessary steps from executive summary to business plan. He won the competition while here at Princeton as an undergraduate and has gone on to become a very successful entrepreneur. The workshop is open to all members of the E-club (including those that are not competing in TigerLaunch). It will be a great opportunity to learn about how to get started on a business plan and learn more about the first steps of running your own business.
The Mathey Private Dining Room is located underneath the dining hall. If you enter the Mathey dining hall there is a door on your right at the entrance to the servery (before picking up your tray). Go through that door then down the stairs and the dining room should be right in front of you. Please call us at 609-651-7988 if you have any problems.
We would really appreciate it if you could email us if you are going to be able to make it to the workshop.
Best Regards, Selcuk Arkun and Sar Medoff TigerLaunch Co-Directors
