Saturday, July 13, 2024: 11:00 am (Tobin 201/202): This talk will detail the transition from negative $10k and a business plan to a $1.2M 21,000 square foot building and 14 years spent to build a workshop with no debt on an insane work schedule. Chris founded Sector67 in 2010 in Madison, Wisconsin, graduating with a BS/MS in mechanical engineering. He competed in various student business plan contests and will share the journey from literally nothing to now being able to provide housing for three people (and six chickens) and having a large workshop full of tools and equipment all owned by a non-profit organization with many volunteers helping to get where they are today. There were a few bumps and a lot of entertainment along the way.
