Whether you live in Cleveland or California, building a world-class startup requires you to think on a global scale. In this session, a panel of experienced NEO entrepreneurs will share real stories from real startups about getting the most out of your local resources, while also keeping your eye on the big picture.

Startup Stories is a new JumpStart event series that examines what it takes to be tech entrepreneur from the perspective of those who have already been there. Meet and mingle with some of the best and brightest NEO entrepreneurs, while exploring topics such as fundraising, teambuilding, investor relations, customer discovery and more.
