A network for startups, freelance consultants, and solo-workers.

SECT Entrepreneur Network Goals:

Past events (earliest to most recent): 

The SECT Entrepreneur Network is pleased to host a discussion with Phil Inskeep.  Phil will talk about The Research Network, a consulting firm that was the first to “rise from the ashes” after Pfizer announced closing the site in Sandwich, UK.  The Research Network is a global team of consultants that has a focus on the management of external research.

Main Street Grille, 252 Main Street Niantic, CT on Tuesday May 22 at noon

To reserve a seat, RSVP by email to jean@artemis-startup.com by Sunday May 20.  Lunch is available at your own expense.  The Main Street Grille has ample parking.

June 26 News Flash  News from the SECT Entrepreneur Network:

Journal access is available for visitors to any UCONN library during normal library hours.  Journal articles can be saved onto flash drives, printed, or emailed.  Journals that UCONN does not have a subscription for can be obtained in 24 hours for an interlibrary loan fee of ~$20/article.  UCONN library staff can also assist individuals with their literature research needs.  Journal access and research assistance is part of the existing university policy.  The network thanks State Representative Betsy Ritter (Waterford/Montville) for connecting us with UCONN library management to learn about the access policy.

Members have requested access to a membership directory and the network has recruited a part-time summer intern to create the directory.  You should hear from Josh by email in the next week or so.  Please help him by providing a prompt response.  We need to capitalize on his availability before he leaves for Madison Wisconsin to start his Biomedical Engineering education.
