A note from Patrick McQuown, Executive Director of Entrepreneurship
We are in unprecedented times. There really is no other metric. Nevertheless, this WILL end and when it does the innovators and entrepreneurs will lead the way. I managed companies through 9/11, the DC Sniper and the 2008 financial crisis. I am not comparing those events to COVID-19, but I can empathize when deals that have taken months or years are suddenly derailed with no idea when they might realign. So, what, as entrepreneurs and innovators, can we do so that when the world starts spinning again, we are situated on firm ground? Read on to learn how TU Incubator and our member companies are offering support in new and different ways.
While we have seen operational changes at TU due to COVID-19, reach out to me, Ken, or David. We’re here for you. Most importantly, reach out to each other.
Godspeed,
Patrick
