Mark your calendars on Friday June 19, 2009, San Francisco’s Boudin Bakery will host a Bootstrappers BreakfastTM event.
Location: Boudin Bakery (415) 362-3330
4 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, 94111
Time: Friday, June 19th at 7-9 am.
We start at 7, but it’s a casual setting if you are running late.
The facilitator of San Francisco’s Bootstrappers Breakfast is Brendon Farrell. Brendon has been advising business owners and C-level execs on reducing operations cost and smart outsourcing since 2001. Brendon has a background including being a successful entrepreneur, a manager and a senior consultant to companies with an innovative focus. He has a unique ability to understand the business issues and translate them into actionable cost savings and profit generating programs. Please join Brendon on this quest to support other entrepreneurs, deliver valuable insight and resource opportunities.
You will find this group to include a seasoned venue of serial entrepreneurs, C-level execs and passionate innovation people for coffee and good conversation. The format involves a table, introductions and solving business issues as a group. Think of it as sort of an “informal board” to run ideas off of and get insight on a variety of topics. We have been operating this for years in the Silicon Valley and have been asked to offer in San Francisco. Register at https://www.123signup.com/register?id=jqqhh
