Joshua Lau started Nymbl Systems to solve a problem that the Orthotics & Prosthetics industry had been facing for years. Antiquated legacy software. Forming the company in April 2016, Nymbl is now in 100 clinics across the US, raised over 4M, and scaling quickly. Nymbl has recently been recognized as one of America’s top 10 small businesses by the Small Business Development Council, read into the congressional record by Congressman Andy Barr, and nominated as one of Forbes 30 under 30 founders. If you are a current founder, interested in becoming an entrepreneur, joining a startup team, or being more entrepreneurial in your job or life, this is for you! Join the LEAP and Techstars Founder Series on Wednesday, Oct. 16 from 6:00 - 7:30PM for an in-depth discussion with Joshua Lau to learn his story of becoming a startup founder. Agenda 6:00 - Arrive, grab a light refreshment & get seated 6:10 - Welcome by Patrick Henshaw, CEO of LEAP 6:15 - Founder Story by Joshua Lau, including audience Q&A 7:30 - Wrap up Why a Founder Story? We often hear and tell the stories about an entrepreneur’s big wins, however what’s often missing is the full picture of the founder’s journey that includes the hard times, the perseverance, and even the fun and fulfillment of building a company. This intentionally intimate (Twitter-free, and no recording!) will give the audience a dose of reality they wouldn't get in any other context. These talks are a safe space to share highly personal and confidential details of the featured founder’s life. Thanks to our friends at The Root for hosting this event! The Root is located just off the exit of the Sherman Minton Bridge (toll free!), with a free public parking garage across the street.
