Do you live or work near Beacon Hill? Are you a businessperson, entrepreneur, lawyer, retailer, newly arrived in Boston or otherwise just looking to network?
Come. Drink. Nosh. Network. As we like to say, “We’ll bring the scotch, you bring the schmooze.”
Join the Vilna Shul for a fun evening of Scotch & Schmooze, our networking happy hour event. Meet fellow members of the Beacon Hill and downtown business community, friends in the neighborhood and patrons of the Vilna. Co-sponsored by Jewish Venture Mentoring Services, this program will feature a short panel about some interesting new companies and the panelists’ paths to success.
JVMS Founder Rony Shapiro along with David Benaim, Sigma Prime Ventures and CTO at Mobile Messaging Solutions, plus other JVMS mentors will be present from 5:00-6:00 to discuss ideas and pitches from entrepreneurs and would-be start-up starters at what is planned to be a regular mentoring event at the Vilna.
