Theme: Networking to Build Bonds
We all know networking is important, but sometimes walking into a room of people you do not know can be intimidating. We get it, and we want to make it easier by helping facilitate introductions with a fun and dynamic networking game on Monday, November 6th from 5-7 pm at The Virginian Saloon. At a time where differences are often emphasized more than commonalities, we invite you to spend some time finding the bonds that make us a dynamic, resilient and creative entrepreneurial community.

ALPINE REVIVAL LAUNCHES
AJ Cargill, 2020 Entrepreneurs Essentials student (now Start-Up Success) announces the launch of her new company, Alpine Revival. AJ has partnered with HP Featherman of Crested Butte, CO. The two met while competing in the 1990’s-era Extreme Skiing circuits. AJ excelled as an alpine skier and HP became the face of women’s telemark skiing. They quickly became friends with similar dispositions for sport and friendly competition, laughter and good times outside of the mountain, and their mutual adoration and passions for thoughtful, timeless, colorful and unique fashion.
Alpine Rival blends a vintage-inspired style with updated silhouettes and essential mountain style elements, like extra long collars, cozy thick hoods, and elbow patches. The cashmere knits are made in small batches with limited size and color runs, so that each piece is truly a keeper.
