Tampa Bay Startup Week 2017: Full Schedule

2:00pm EST

Young Investor Initiative

Investing is two sided; for every buyer there's a seller and vice-versa. Whether you're new to investing, a seasoned bull, or the founder of a company seeking investing this event is for you. The goal of this event is to get as many people in a room who are buyers or sellers and make connections with the hope that down the road those connections become viable relationships.

We hope to see you there!
