Here is a description from Jordan Epstein, the Series Chair:

PSL’s newest event series Entrepreneur Unplugged will extend the spirit of Founder Factory by bringing successful Entrepreneurs “on stage” to share their personal stories of risk taking and decision making.  The format will be a 30 minute presentation followed by question and answer.  The series will be streamed live, recorded and distributed online.  Register today to reserve your free seat.

We’re proud to have Boris Silver open the series and share his experiences with his startup, Sport Interactiva, which provided fantasy sports games to over 1 million users on social networks.  Boris took a leave of absence from the University of Pennsylvania to grow the business full-time and navigated a successful exit just 9 months later.

Thanks to our friends at the University of Arts for providing an absolutely amazing venue to showcase the series.  The series continues on 6/17 and 8/19 at the same time and place.  Contact Jordan Epstein if you’d like to take the stage at a future event or would like to suggest a presenter.
