Join The Riveter and EIR Deepti Sharma for a webinar about troubleshooting as an entrepreneur

When you’re flying a plane off a cliff and building it on the way down, sometimes you need a little help. That’s where Deepti Sharma comes in. Deepti is a serial entrepreneur and currently EIR (Entrepreneur in Residence) at Barnard’s Athena Center for Leadership. She has a wealth of experience in building companies from the ground up – including tackling the thorny challenges that make building a business less of a smooth, straight line and more like a twisty-turny maze of frustration, roadblocks, backtracks and facepalms. In this session, Deepti will answer any questions you may have and suggest resources to support your growing business. This will be an open zoom session where participants will be invited to speak as part of an open forum, moderated by Rachel Sklar. Please join us for some Entreprneurship Rx!

Online access details will be emailed to attendees prior to the event.
