I2E Club to Cover Venture Capital and Leadership

Chicago-based Hopewell Ventures principal, Jude Conway, and UNL Kimmel’s own Jennifer Schoen will serve as the I2E Club speakers for the August 10th meeting.
Jude Conway has a magnitude of knowledge on the subject of venture capital. He has worked with both the public and private sectors in his extensive career. Jude’s work with Hopewell Ventures has provided venture capital to a variety of businesses. Jude will explain in his presentation "De-Mystifying Angel and Venture Capital Financing" that, "most people’s eyes glaze over when venture capital or angel investing is mentioned. They feel it's somewhere between Voodoo and quantum physics. While the details of an angel or venture capital deal can get quite complicated the basic concept is quite simple. It's when someone other than friends or family buy shares in your company. Once entrepreneurs understand how this works, they can make an informed decision whether or not to pursue this type of financing."
Jennifer Schoen, University of Nebraska – Lincoln Kimmel Education & Research Center’s Summer Intern, will be presenting an entertaining and educational session on power. Jennifer is a senior at UNL majoring in Hospitality, Restaurant, & Tourism Management and Agricultural Education. She will be sharing some of her education through teaching entrepreneurs how to build efficiency through leadership.
The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social sponsored by the UNL Kimmel Education & Research Center. Presenters Jude and Jennifer will share helpful knowledge they have gained in their respective endeavors.
I2E Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at the UNL Kimmel Education and Research Center, 5985 G Road, Nebraska City, NE. The Club is a collaborative effort of the Southeast Nebraska Partners for Progress and has been made possible by funding from a Building Entrepreneurial Communities Act (BECA) grant.
