Good Sports: Finding and Involving Professional Athletes in your Startup

Little did they know that professional athletes would be a critical component of LetzChat’s go-to-market strategy as brand ambassadors, investors, and team members, including a COO who’s also an NFL Super Bowl Champion.

In this Entrepreneur Speaker Series event, Matthew and Jordan will share their personal journeys and some tips and tricks for how to attract and involve professional athletes in your startup. Some special guests may also make an appearance… 

Doors will open at 6 pm for dinner and networking. The event will take place in Lundring Events Center. The event is free.

This policy discussion will include an historical review of water policy in California, with a particular focus on the development of the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
