SUMMARY:Startup Grind Louisville w/ Kela Ivonye
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to have Kela Ivonye\, co-founder of Protege and an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) for Amplify Louisville\, as our speaker for our November Fireside Chat. He is passionate about helping Black entrepreneurs succeed by connecting them with Super founders for mentorship and investment. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to hear Kela share his story and passion for helping people. \n\n\n\nMeet Kela\n\n\n\nKela works with the best talent in Louisville to assist them in creating and growing highly scalable startups\, with a focus on Black founders. He co-founded Protege\, a nonprofit and micro fund that helps Black entrepreneurs succeed by connecting them with Super founders for mentorship and investment. Kela works to cultivate community among black founders in Louisville through his quarterly Founder Social events sponsored by Amplify. Additionally\, Kela is an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) for Amplify Louisville. He began his entrepreneurial journey by founding Arrow Food Couriers\, an on-demand delivery startup with a hyper-local focus. They used geo-spatial technology to divide cities into self-sufficient delivery districts\, reducing delivery time by over 40% compared to other couriers. Upon the sale of Arrow Food Couriers\, Kela used his logistics experience to launch MailHaven\, a smart\, curbside mailbox that secures packages for absent homeowners. The MailHaven provides value for everyone throughout the supply chain. MailHaven owners never have to sign for packages or worry about theft. Couriers delivering to a MailHaven never have to redeliver packages to that address and experience faster route times. In late 2019\, MailHaven was acquired by Luxer One\, a subsidiary of Assa Abloy ($ASSA).  Kela holds a BASc in Geographic Information Science and Cartography and dropped out of the Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Louisville.

SUMMARY:How To Manage Your Business and Life
DESCRIPTION:Do you feel like you need to race to meet a bunch of hard deadlines in order to get stuff done? Well\, you don’t. One of the biggest myths about ‘the hustle’ is that it goes hand-in-hand with burnout and fatigue. As a consultant who helps busy women grow their businesses while still working\, Vanessa knows that healthy time efficiency comes down to putting YOU first and creating quality over quantity. \n\n\n\nThe no nonsense\, simplified way to peace\, productivity\, and prosperity.\n\n\n\nOur time is our most valuable resource\, and in today’s fast-paced society\, it’s all too easy to lose track of it in pursuit of our endless to-do’s. Vanessa Zamy will share better ways that ambitious\, purpose-led business owners (from solopreneurs to leaders of big teams) can manage their time so they ‘hustle while breathing’ and optimize the synergy between their life and goals.

SUMMARY:Venture Atlanta Conference
DESCRIPTION:The theme for Venture Atlanta 2021 is “Momentum.” 2020 was an incredibly difficult year for so many. But it was inspiring to watch our alumni companies\, our investors\, and our community be resilient\, innovative\, and supportive in order to keep moving forward. Despite all odds\, connections were formed\, deals were closed\, and progress was made. We want to keep that momentum going — to be even bigger and better this year because of what we all went through last year. This is the energy that our audience will feel (whether in the room or through the screen)\, at Venture Atlanta 2021! So get excited — you don’t want to miss out!

SUMMARY:AccelerateKY Connect. Inform. Inspire
DESCRIPTION:As our state—and the world—finds our way out of the throes of a global pandemic\, there has never been a more opportune time for us to think differently about the future of work in our state\, and collaborate to find new ways to support innovation in the Commonwealth. This gathering will host that conversation. \n\n\n\nConnect. Inform.

Additional details about the agenda is below. \n\n\n\nAttendees will meet fellow leaders as passionate about the future of the economy in the Commonwealth as they are; learn a range of approaches and case studies shared at the event; and return to their own work equipped with new strategies\, tactics\, and relationships to apply in their organization\, in their community\, and across Kentucky. And\, together\, we will think about how we can collaborate across our organizations to build an even stronger environment for supporting innovation in the Bluegrass State. \n\n\n\nAccelerateKY’s Connect. Inform. Inspire. is hosted by the Western Kentucky University Innovation Campus\, with support from the Central Region Innovation and Commercialization Center\, a regional hub office of the KY Innovation network.
