Event Details
So you have an idea for a startup? What next? Time to discuss it with someone, and get some feedback. Let us introduce you to Mentor Mondays - A collaboration between NWEN and Founder Institute, and always on the second Monday of every month at the Hub Seattle.
What more mentor time?..If you want to snag ten solid minutes of our mentor's time it's up to you. Tweet #mentormonday @NWEN_Org with a one-tweet pitch for your company. The top three tweeting startups get one-on-one sessions with the mentor.

March Mentor will be T.A. McCann of GIST
Hey, I’m T.A. McCann. I am an entrepreneur living and working in Seattle WA.
I am currently a VP of Product Strategy at Research in Motion (RIMM), focused on BBM (Blackberry Messenger), Blackberry social applications (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter…) as well as the native Contacts apps.

I am an active advisor to startup companies in Seattle including Creative Live, Venpop (sold to Lockerz), Zooppa, Thinkfuse (sold to Salesforce, Aug 2012), EveryMove and RivalIQ. I am an active angel investor via Founders Co-op and SKV. I also spent 4 years at Microsoft in various roles on Exchange and Mobile Service Delivery Platforms.
