On Thursday, April 28th, CONNECTpreneur XVIII was held in Bethesda, which marked the first time a CONNECTpreneur event was held in MD. Despite the weather, it was an awesome day with somewhere in the vicinity of 500 attendees!
It wouldn’t have been a proper CONNECTpreneur event without its fearless leader, CEO of Tech 2000 and Appnetic, Tien Wong (you can find him @Tienwong), setting the stage for the day amongst a packed house and introducing the fireside chat (sans actual fire) guest. Mark Walsh, Associate Administrator, Office of Investment and Innovation, U.S. Small Business Administration, Executive Chairman, HomeSnap and Co-Founder and CEO, Genius Rocket (@walsh) took the stage along side Tien to share more information about his role with the SBA and give some advice to some of the startups in the room.
