9/28, 12Noon-1pm, Commons 331

In this day and age, we all see entrepreneurs actively seeking
money in order to get up and running. However, there is another
approach. Come listen to Chris Jeffery address the key to
Bootstrapping and how this kind of start-up leads to creative
entrepreneurship, which can lead to a niche in the industry you're
looking to disrupt.

LocalUp Solutions was started out of a basement, with $3,000, sheer
determination and an unwavering belief in an idea. They weren't
technologists, but they launched a technology company. They didn't
have years of experience (or any experience for that matter) in a big
organization or the industry they looked to disrupt, but they did it
anyway.

Founded in 2009, Baltimore based technology company, LocalUp
Solutions, is on a mission to connect hungry consumers and local
restaurants through its white label online ordering solution and
restaurant discovery engine. Today, more than 30 local restaurant
guides are powered by LocalUp. By developing new local sales and
marketing strategies, and integrating new technologies to better
connect local consumers with local restaurants, LocalUp continues
to grow both horizontally into new markets and vertically in their
existing markets.
