Mix It Up on Mixergy.com

We love mixing and mingling with other entrepreneurs.  That's why we have bizperc (our coworking space), networking opportunities (like launch parties and lunches), and the Think Big Kansas City Conference.  We are all about meeting other entrepreneurs, interacting with different startups and growing our rolodex of contacts.

It seems as if Mixergy has the same idea.

Mixergy is an online platform that allows members to interact with other entrepreneurs, take online courses, tune into videos, and hear stories from some of the best and brightest in the startup tech industry (like the founders of Groupon, Y Combinator, Wikipedia, Kiva and more!). 

The Mixergy mission is to introduce its members to doers and thinkers whose ideas and stories are so powerful that hearing them will ignite a spark...and perhaps even a change.  With Mixergy, members have access to a wide variety of courses, like Advanced Lead Generation, Mobile App Design, Customer Targeting, Blogging for Business and much more.

If you're interested in an online entrepreneurial community, I encourage you to check out Mixergy.com and see what benefits it can offer you and your business!  Happy surfing!

Here is the article, My five favorite startup pitches from TechStars Demo Day , that showcases some of the pitches.
