Gather Round the WaterCooler 

As the Boise Valley prepares to hibernate over the Winter, the WaterCooler invites you to gather round and partake in open office hours.  At WaterCooler Open Office Hours, we are throwing open the doors to the community, providing the opportunity to meet with several of the Valley’s business leaders.  Want to start a company?  Have a question about your company?  Come in and talk to Rick or Brandon.  Have an idea that you want to kick around to see if it could be something?  Sign up for a JamSession with Krissa.  Want to learn about federal funding?  You’ll want to talk to Brandon.  The WaterCooler and its PGE?  Pencil yourself on Mark Rivers’ calendar.  Think you are venture capital ready?  You’ll want to talk with Mark Solon.  Have a question on intellectual property, or patenting or licensing your idea?  Sign up to talk with Steve. 

You can find these hours on the links listed below.

This site can be used to pick 30 minute slots during open office hours. To sign up, you will need to create a pbwiki account.  All time slots are in 30 minute intervals unless arrangements have been made ahead of time.
