Lakeshore e2e Series

Lakeshore Advantage and the Holland Young Professionals have partnered to bring the Lakeshore e2e Series (entrepreneur to entrepreneur) where the business leaders of today will share their ideas and insights with the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

The Lakeshore e2e events begin by offering a half hour of networking and then move into an hour conversation with the featured speaker. Networking begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by the speaker from 6-7pm. Refreshments are provided and the entire event is free.

“Entrepreneurs have relayed strong support for the e2e series. The events are fun, casual, topical and quick. Everyone has an opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and learn from the firsthand experience of successful business people. This effort is a terrific way for entrepreneurs , existing or aspiring, to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, meet possible mentors and link directly with a range of funders, bankers, angel investors and venture captialists. “
Randy Thelen, president of Lakeshore Advantage
