The Agile Startup Founders Jeff Scheinrock and Matt Richter-Sand To Hold Seminar Saturday, December 7th

Learn The 13 Critical Steps To Your Idea Into A Profitable Business


LOS ANGELES, CA  -- Jeff Scheinrock and Matt Richter-Sand, both instructors of entrepreneurship at UCLA, will lead and engaging and informative all-day seminar at Marina Village Conference Center 1936 Quivira Way, San Diego, that covers the 13 critical steps you need to take to turn your idea into a profitable business. If you have an idea for a business, and a burning desire to make that business a reality, you won’t want to miss this unique event.

Seminar attendees can participate in a “Shark Tank” style competition during the seminar. Let Matt and Jeff give you thoughts on your start up idea.  There will be prizes for the best startup concepts.  Attendees who choose not to present their ideas, will get to vote on the best star up!

Most people have a romantic notion about startups, believing that every business idea leads to rousing IPOs and a deluge of money and fame. True entrepreneurs know that starting a new business is rarely glamorous, but a daunting affair that requires them to roll up their sleeves for the fight of their lives.

This seminar will take attendees on the nerve-racking journey of a startup, showing exactly what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur in today’s brutal business climate.  Scheinrock and Richter-Sand (http://www.agilestartup.com/about/) will share the lessons (http://www.agilestartup.com/lessons/) they've learned founding startups, working with early-stage companies, and consulting with fellow entrepreneurs.
