Max Gladwell Live This Monday

This Monday, May 18th, from 7:00 - 9:00 PM Pacific Time, you can attend or tune into BlobLive LA with Max Gladwell. If you’d like to attend, feel free to RSVP via Facebook. If you’d like to watch the live webcast, you can participate via Twitter using the hashtag #bloblive.

In conjunction with Max Gladwell, BlobLive hosts a monthly themed networking event for green business and social entrepreneurs in Santa Monica. Come share an idea, support an idea, or get inspired by one. New and existing ventures of all shapes and sizes are encouraged.

Are you working on a green or social venture? Are you interested in others who are? Do you have an idea to start one? Come listen, share, or promote your idea. In a supportive and relaxed environment, you can step up, practice your pitch, and share your ideas. BlobLive provides the food and the venue while everyone else in the room (and those watching the event streamed online) offer feedback, advice, and ideas for connections.

Those who attend BlobLives range from those with a dream for a new business, established business owners looking to expand and improve, social entrepreneurs, bloggers, investors, and experienced entrepreneurs who want to help others find their way.

For Max Gladwell Live, presenting priority is extended to ideas, businesses, non-profits, or any other entrepreneurial venture focused on making a difference in the world.

For a better chance to get on stage and share your idea, please pre-submit a brief description (250 words or so) to BlobLive host Erick Brownstein via e-mail: e [at] ebrownstein.com.

We recommend the following format for your pitch:

1. Identify the problem that your business addresses. Where is the pain?
2. Tell us how your business is the solution to that problem (how it relieves the pain) and how it will earn revenue/donations
3. Ask your question: What do you need for your business? Partners? Funding? Marketing advice?

This week, special guest Dr. Dan Nathanson, a professor at UCLA Anderson and founder of Entrepreneurs Institute, will be arriving at 6:30 to offer presenters free coaching sessions to help prepare their pitch. And Max Gladwell founder Rob Reed will be offering feedback on marketing, sustainability, and social media strategies. We look forward to seeing you there.
