Techpreneurs can live by the Board, and unfortunately can die by the Board. Forming a Board of Directors, like so many other aspects of early-stage corporate strategy, can serve as a force multiplier for the techpreneur, can be neutral or can be a tremendous liability. So take the time and effort to do it right.

The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 1 p.m., and special guests will include Chancellor David Gearhart and AEDC Director Maria Haley. IA’s own Techpreneur himself, Jeff Amerine, will be there as well.
