Generation Startup: Film Screening & Panel

CELEBRATING NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP MONTH

The Jonathan M. Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship in partnership with Creative Breed invite you to a special GENERATION STARTUP screening and livestream Q&A in celebration of National Entrepreneurship Month.

About the movie:

GENERATION STARTUP takes us to the front lines of entrepreneurship in America, capturing the struggles and triumphs of six recent college graduates who put everything on the line to build startups in Detroit. Shot over 17 months, it’s an honest, in-the-trenches look at what it takes to launch a startup. Directed by Academy Award winner Cynthia Wade and award-winning filmmaker Cheryl Miller Houser, the film celebrates risk-taking, urban revitalization, and diversity while delivering a vital call-to-action—with entrepreneurship at a record low, the country’s economic future is at stake.

Event info: Thursday, November 10th, at 8:00 PM EST (doors open @ 7:30 PM)
Salomon Center 101, De Ciccio Family Auditorium
Brown University

Following the screening of GENERATION STARTUP, universities and organizations across the U.S. will join a livestreamed panel discussion designed to spark dialogue, encourage inspiration, and foster the spirit of risk-taking and entrepreneurship.
