The Cannon Houston, 1336 Brittmoore Rd., Houston, 77043
Two Esports execs share their experiences on their meteoric rise. They’ve addressed issues that can leave entrepreneurs conflicted: Planning - Real Time vs. Ahead Of Time, Workforce - Remote Team vs. HQ Team, Market Presence - Real Company vs. Hollow Company. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a gamer, or both, this will be an #IKnewThemWhen moment. To register PRESS START!
Opportunities begot change that lead to decisions...AND decisions are hard. Our guests’ Esport production company, Mainline, is making BIG impressions on brands and gestures from investors. They have discovered ways to successfully engage customers while rocketing along their journey. It’s a great example of a primarily digital business that is successfully translating into an exciting physical experience. eSports is giving us insights into what moves people to come out and attend Esports events selling out arenas. What if you could apply those learnings to how to affect your buyer’s behavior and choices... That's a BIG deal!
Planning
Hear from diametrically opposed personality types and planning styles who have forged their startups “warp drive.” Imagine tapping into that power for your business.
Workforce
The first day they all showed up at The Cannon Houston, half of them did not know each other’s real names and none of them had never met IRL. Is there power in daily face time instead of 100% remote teams?
Market Presence
As we have seen across many startup industries, there is a LOT OF NOISE. The Mainline team broke the barrier by setting themselves apart through their authenticity and verifiable results. Would your business actions result in industry accolades, traction and sales? They should!
At Startup Grind we enjoy finding and sharing lessons that can be shared across industries. Why? Because this stretches your mind, it challenges the status quo and causes your own breakthroughs. We are here (and in 400+ cities worldwide) to help you to deliver solutions that have your customers saying “YES! That is what I need.”
Cha-Ching!
