Last week I had the opportunity to attend a couple of different events to help me with my business idea. The first event was hosted by the Merrimack Valley Sandbox where the top entrepreneurs squared off to pitch against each other for $5000. The night was a success for anyone who participated. Only four entrepreneurs including myself actually pitched in front of the judges, however, tons of entrepreneurs showed up to present there business ideas during a networking portion of the night. While I didn't win the big prize, I was honored to accept the $500 award for fan favorite!

The second night was a laid back event where Umass Lowell entrepreneurs stood in front of their posters to explain their business ideas to those attending the Deshpande Symposium. These events are always great to attend so that you can meet new people who can help you.
