Propeller is excited to announce a new opportunity for local innovators to share their ideas with a creative community of millions. Propeller, Idea Village, 4.0 Schools, and 52 Businesses are teaming up with Kickstarter on an exciting new initiative to support local creativity.
The program will harness the innovative, creative, and collaborative spirit of the New Orleans entrepreneurial community, culminating in the opportunity to showcase launched Kickstarter projects at New Orleans Entrepreneurship Week (March 20-27, 2015) and Launch Fest (April 15, 2015). Kickstarter representatives will provide mentorship, access to the creator community, and educational resources.
Interested participants are encouraged to attend an in-depth workshop:
Thursday, November 20th, 6:00pm - 7:30pm
LaunchPad, IP Boardroom
