St. Louis Startup Scene Unites for Blayzer’s “Start Up Your Startup” Seminar & Networking Event

ST. LOUIS - Aug. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- With its upcoming Start Up Your Startup new business strategy seminar and networking event, St. Louis marketing strategy and web development agency Blayzer (http://www.blayzer.com) aims to unite the local business community for an evening of learning, sharing, and connecting about launching and growing a new venture. It’s a bold vision, but one that is so far succeeding in bringing together leaders from all across St. Louis’s booming startup and innovation scene.

More than two full months ahead of the event, Start Up Your Startup has already attracted 19 sponsors – and it’s still growing. The list of partners reads like a brief who’s-who of St. Louis entrepreneurial leadership.

“When we set out to do this event, we only hoped for the kind of response we’re seeing,” says Brad Goldenberg, partner and CEO of Blayzer. “But from the moment we started approaching people and getting into conversations, I could feel their energy and their passion for what’s happening all around the city. It’s the same enthusiasm we have here at Blayzer. And the idea of everyone coming together in a non-competitive setting to learn, share, and connect across all these diverse challenges that unite us has been really well received.”

Nailing down the sponsors is only the beginning for Blayzer, however. Next up? Finalizing the speaker lineup and attracting a crowd.

Says Brad Goldenberg, “We’re just getting started. It feels great to know we’re off to a running start, but the monumental tasks of organizing the event itself, getting the word out, and putting bodies in the room on November 5^th are just beginning. That’s one reason why we’re so glad to have a great group of sponsors on board to help us plan, promote, and put on the event. I couldn’t think of a better group of folks to have in our corner.”
