MPowered Entrepreneurship and the Center for Entrepreneurship invite you to hear Josh Pokempner speak about “When it Comes to Being an Entrepreneur, Nothing Works” from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Friday, April 17. Pokempner is the founder of Giddy Up! The program is free and open to everyone.
Josh describes himself as a “recovering architect” and a founder of Architects Four, where he worked until launching a series of award-winning consumer product companies. With a dedication to products that are clever, innovative and fun, Giddy Up!, Color Loco, Flying Colors Toys, and Colorbok Paper Products were founded and eventually successfully sold. The companies continue to thrive and serve the mass and specialty stationery, children’s toys, and publishing markets.
Josh now divides his time between product design at Giddy Up! (which is now part of Elmer’s Products, Inc.) and involvements with several nonprofit organizations. At this final Entrepreneurship Hour of the academic year, Josh will also announce a toy competition.
The talk will be in the Stamps Auditorium at the Walgreen Drama Center on North Campus. For additional information, call (734) 763-1021.
