First, sorry for the late digest this week. Let my experience serve as a warning: be careful when you eat giblets to make sure they were cooked at a high enough temperature. Second, I am always looking for good events to cover in the digest and good companies to cover for SPN. If you know of either, please email me.This has been on here for a few weeks, and I don’t plan to take it off anytime soon. There is now a link on this map’s description that allows you to submit your company. Let’s get our region charted out. You can see the map here.

What’s Going on in the Silicon Prairie Startup Community

How I built it (Cedar Rapids)
Where: Cedar Rapids Marriott
When: November 30, 7:30 am

There will be a panel discussing how to take your great idea and turn it into a business. This sounds like the sort of thing that is perfect for those of you starting out on your entrepreneurial journey.

 

Capital Insights: An Interview with Archrival (Lincoln)
Where: The North Loft at the Apothecary, 140 N. 8th Street, Suite 500
When: November 30, 6 pm

The two founders of Archrival will sit down in a “Charlie Rose” style interview and discuss their story and path from starting the company as juniors attending UNL to representing major brands across the US. This one looks really exciting.

 

TechBrew (Cedar Valley)
Where: Voodoo Lounge, 314 Main Street in Cedar Falls
When: December 1, 5 pm

You know the story.

 

JoCoworking
Where: Black Dog Coffeehouse
When: December 2, 9 am

Welcome to the third installment of JoCoworking. For those of us in the “southern” reaches who want to work together, bounce around ideas, and form tighter bonds in our communities.

 

Barcamp (Des Moines)
Where: Des Moines Central Public Library, 1000 Grand Avenue
When: December 3

Barcamps are awesome. Knowing some of the people involved in organizing BC:DSM, I expect that this one will be no different.
