Blinking Badge Story time - Red Tape and Fintech
by Jade Barker and David Duccini | at Minnebar spring 2020 (canceled)
You’ve seen Silicon Prairie wearing the BLINKING light-up badges, but WHY?
We started wearing them last Startup week for ONE REASON, come learn why! Featuring: A scrappy underdog team of geeks, that must stand up to a petty tyrant, to fight for the user...
Taste the forbidden fruit of mid-day schadenfreude (shameful joy) as you learn how much it costs emotionally and financially to “fight the man”
• Hear juicy gossip about the local stiffs! • Prophylactic tips for juggling a six-pack of lawyers! • Viscerally FEEL the confounding highs and lows!
If at least twenty people attend, we will do a drawing for a $50 gift card at the end of the session – so bring a friend!
