Rheaply certainly isn't the kind of startup you'd see on Shark Tank, but they've been making waves all their own. With over $10 million raised, and customers in the Fortune 500 and U.S government, Rheaply founder Dr. Garry Cooper has learned a thing or two. In this fireside chat, Garry will share his lessons from building and scaling a startup in an unsexy industry.

About this event

Everyone loves a good Airbnb or DoorDash story. But most of us are building companies in industries that don't have that kind of front-page sex appeal.

Classifying itself as a B2B resource management and exchange platform for the circular economy, Rheaply certainly isn't the kind of startup you'd see on Shark Tank, but they've been making waves all their own. With over $10 million raised, and customers in the Fortune 500 and U.S government, Rheaply founder Dr. Garry Cooper has learned a thing or two.

In this fireside chat, Garry will share how he got here, the lessons along the way, and advice for entrepreneurs building companies in those unsexy industries.

Where: The Interwebs aka Zoom

When: March 18th, 6:00-7:15 PM CST
