Are you planning to start, or already running, your own business? Are you intrigued by the idea of entrepreneurship and looking to meet others who share your vision? Would you like to build connections within the North Texas entrepreneurship ecosystem?

Join us at EpICMavs! Produced in collaboration with our partners at TechFW, EpICMavs is offered every Thursday from 4:30pm-5:30pm during the academic year. Each week features a guest speaker on an entrepreneurship-related topic and includes a discussion session where students, faculty, staff and members of the community further explore the topic and get to know each other.

Our facilitators today:
