Greenhorn Weekly Countdown September 11-17

We can't help but remember the horrid videos and pictures produced by the plane crashes on September 11, 2011. Ten years later, we shouldn't focus on the event itself, but on the loved ones we lost and the resilient spirit of the American people. We rose above the loss and did not cower in fear. On this tenth anniversary of this tragic day, Greenhorn Connect salutes you, the entrepreneurs, who relentlessly drive the innovative spirit of America.

Continue innovating with this busy week ahead. We have a lot in store for you, with over 79 startup events and office hours going on in Boston this week.
Here are some key announcements:

FutureM is here! There are *tons* of events this week and Greenhorn Connect lists them all. 

  • Just search "FutureM" to see for yourself and learn all about the Future of Marketing for agencies and companies big and small!

Have a great week!

Watch as famous entrepreneurs get their stars to celebrate them.
