The inaugural event of Startup Grind Frederick features an evening of fun networking, light refreshments, and a Fireside Chat with Scott Ryser.
Scott is the Founder and CEO of Yakabod, a leader in secure software development since 2001. His background includes designing, building and managing technology initiatives ranging from small pilot projects to enterprise overhauls. During the Fireside Chat, Scott will share his perspective on organizational change, revisiting strategy to remain competitive and compelling in a changing marketplace, building a company’s foundation on values to ensure a strong culture, and navigating the change from entrepreneur to leader.
Additionally, we'll hear from the founders of Lovely Canopies, creators of beautiful flowering gardens as patio umbrellas!
We encourage you to register today! We look forward to seeing you!
