The event included networking, rapid fire startup pitches, and a keynote presentation from Piyush Patel, angel investor and author of Lead Your Tribe, Love Your Work. Exaptive Chief Operations Officer Clive Higgins attended, noting, “The sheer extent of entrepreneurial activity in Oklahoma is stunning. But the discussions almost universally highlighted a difficulty with accessing the right resources at the right time to help them build their businesses. This forum tackled that challenge head on.”

Several focus groups brainstormed on big issues. Clive enjoyed participating in the working session that asked how to build a statewide resource list that connects all entrepreneurs, investors, and their community.
