The inaugural Last Tuesday’s event is Sept. 25 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the K-State Alumni Center.

“The sole purpose of Last Tuesdays is to bring together the right
players and facilitate business creation and wealth development in

I stumbled upon Advisor Garage a couple of months back. I immediately thought, "Wow, now everyone has access to a Dave Richter of their own!"

For those of you that have completed the Kauffman Foundation's
TechVenture Program, you already know exactly what I'm talking about.
Dave is the CEO of the Intellectual Property Management Group (IPMG),
based right here in Kansas City.

While you're going through the course, you have full access to Dave and
his stellar advice. Formally, he's the TechVenture professor,
personally he becomes a mentor.

I can't tell you how important it is to have an experienced mentor to
guide you through all of your crazy ideas when starting a startup.

If Advisor Garage does what is advertises, it could be a great resource. Check them out.
