REI Path Ahead Ventures Community Gathering & Happy Hour
As part of our 2nd annual REI Co-op Path Ahead Ventures Founder Summit, we are excited to host 50 entrepreneurs from across the United States for a weekend filled with learning, networking, and engaging with new and inspiring products. This Happy Hour is our opportunity to bring the Atlanta community together to connect with entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of the outdoors.
We will be awarding a peer-nominated grant to one entrepreneur from the Path Ahead Ventures network with a $5000 grant to support their business. We will have a short program and then the grant recipient will be announced around 5pm!
Join us to discover new brands and innovations while mingling with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. We will have a mini showcase of brands, and you can check out or buy products from Faro, Projo, Ryōken Instinct, and Shower Pouch. Light food and drinks will be provided. See you there!
