Rhode Island Inno’s ‘State of Innovation’ at Sprout:
Join our friends from Sprout and RI Inno as they invite the community to come together for networking, libations and insights from thought leaders, startups and/or entrepreneurs. They’ll be discussing issues related to a certain topic – may it be health tech, women in entrepreneurship, the VR space and more.
Panel:
Arnell Milhouse, CEO of CareerDevs & Eric Bai, co-founder of TextUp
Moderator:
Courtney Gabrielson, Staff Writer at Rhode Island Inno
This edition of Rhody Inno’s State of Innovation event will focus on philanthropic initiatives across the startup and tech community; who is driving change for the better, how they’re doing it and how other entrepreneurs can implement similar programs while they build companies of their own.

Venture Cafe Thursday Gathering:
Have you made it to 225 Dyer St. in Providence yet? If not, you’re missing out…just saying! Every Thursday night they have a ‘gathering’ and this Thursday our old friend Thorne Sparkman of the Slater Fund will be moderating a couple of RI’s thought leaders as they discuss: “The Promise and Pitfalls of Outsourcing Technology Development” from 6:40 – 7:30 PM. Come hear what Dave Durfee, founder of Bay Computer and adjunct professor at Brown University, and Aidan Petrie, founding partner of NEMIC (New England Medical Innovation Center) and co-founder of Ximedica have to say!
And, before this big talk our dear friend, Katie McDonald of bnourished, will be talking about: “Self Care: Food, Thought, Time” from 5:40- – 6:30 PM.
Challenge your current approach to self-care habits. Rather than seeing the “self-care shoulds” as nuisances or obstacles to your otherwise productive day, learn simple, implementable strategies to leverage them for greater wellbeing and sustained professional growth.
But wait, there’s more!
