TBIC this week, Wednesday April 9th 2014

     Why do you want to invent things?  Are you doing it for the fun of it or to make money?  Do you just want to pass on an idea or turn it into a business?  These are things you need to consider but if the answer is to make money, than be sure to attend the Tampa Bay Inventors Council meeting this Wednesday!  
     We are pleased to have a serial entrepreneur with three successful technology startups to his credit join us to help you understand the path ahead.  JJ Roberts recently joined the staff at the Tampa Bay Innovation Center  and brings a breath of experience. Each of his startups utilized proprietary and some are still in use at leading companies of the world including Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, First Quality Products, and 3M.  JJ received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Georgia Tech and a Master of Science Degree in Decision Science from Georgia State University.  He is certified as a Professional Business Coach and has served on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Tech Business Network.  JJ began mentoring at Georgia Tech and directly assisted over 20 young startup companies and worked with numerous additional entrepreneurs and their technologies at the earliest stage of conception. 
     He instructs on how to pitch for investors and will share what they want to and don’t want to hear.  If you are remotely planning to make a go at building your invention into a business, this is a must attend event!  Bring your questions and learn all you can this week, April 9th at the Tampa Bay Inventors Council!
