Insights Unplugged: The State of Entrepreneurship
Insights Unplugged is eBridge’s speaker series. Each session brings people from the private and public sectors who know the local economy firsthand into a candid fireside chat, followed by Q&A and time to network over lunch.
This edition looks at the state of entrepreneurship in Brownsville and the US: who is starting businesses, what is holding founders back, and what support is available to them right now.
Speakers: Michael J. Limas, financial advisor and entrepreneur, and CS Freeland, founder of Texas Venture Fest. Monica Rivers, founder of Studio X, moderates.
Open to business owners, founders, students, educators, and anyone who cares about the local startup community. The event is free. Please register so we can plan lunch.
This is an official Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 activity.
