Learn from three diverse Colorado makers/manufacturers about their journey of turning a hobby into a successful business enterprise. The panelists will share their experiences, such as how they first took the leap into starting their business; how they financed their start; how they made connections for distribution and supply chain; their process as discovering their current production process; what assistance they used and/or what assistance they wished they had when first starting. The panel will focus on providing makers the opportunity to ask questions of three Colorado manufacturers to learn best practices from others’ trials and triumphs.
