Re:Launching America’s Small Businesses
Learn how to quickly prototype and rapid-test new offerings like a digital product with Olivia Wong of Prototype Thinking Labs. Learn how to make boba from the Boba King himself, Andrew Chau of Boba Guys. Speak directly to Fiona Ma, California State Treasurer about the economic implications of COVID-19.
These are just a few value-packed segments we have lined up for you on ACE Nextgen’s RE:Launching, a day of community-building personal and professional growth. Make new connections and learn applicable skills to grow your business. Most of all, we’ll have fun as we rise together, stronger as an Asian American Entrepreneur community.
There will be opportunities to join the ACE Nextgen community on a donation basis throughout the day for continued relationship-building and personal/professional growth.
