Telora’s founder, Eliam Medina, is coming to UIUC! If you’ve been thinking of starting a startup or have already started one, this event is for you.

You’ll learn how to figure out if your idea is promising, how to get customers, and why you should probably have a cofounder. You’ll also learn the most common mistakes that kill startups and how to avoid them.

Eliam started Telora after his previous company, Willing (YC S15, Founders Fund), was acquired. He knows what it takes to go from idea to exit, and has helped hundreds of students get their startups off the ground.

This event is open to the public. Since more people may want to come than we have room for, we ask that you please RSVP.

10:00 AM–4:00 PM — 20 minute 1:1s with Eliam Illini Union, Suite 280 1401 W Green St, Urbana, IL 61801

6:00–8:15 PM — Open founder conversation with Eliam, followed by reception and student networking iSchool MPR 5043 (614 e daniel st)
