The City of Glendale received a $1 million grant secured by Senator Anthony Portantino from the State of California to launch a start-up accelerator. Accelerators offer mentoring, marketing, networking, investment opportunities and other services early-stage companies need to progress to the next level.

Join us as we discuss the future of the $1 million funding.

• Start-Ups: Help us develop a program that you want…and need.
• Corporate Companies: Help us lead a program that could benefit your employees and maybe even your bottom-line.
• Potential Operators: See first-hand the ripe innovation market in the Tri-Cities and Northeast LA region, and make recommendations on how to attract top operators.

Light appetizers and refreshments will be provided.
