Revenue is what pays for everything else that a profitable business does – marketing\, accounting\, finance\, administration – everything. Yet “take a look at the curricula of the world’s top-ranked business schools\, and you might come away with the impression that sales is unimportant. Most MBA programs offer no sales-related courses at all\, and those that do offer only a single course in sales management. Even at the undergraduate level of business instruction\, sales courses are sparse.” \n-Harvard Business Review\, Teaching Sales\, July-August 2012. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session. \n\n Click here to register!

In 2021\, startups founded solely by women in the United States raised nearly $6.4 billion in venture capital – 83% higher than the total raised in the previous year\, according to PitchBook data. Despite these exceptional gains\, that amount still represents a sliver (2%) of the $330 billion in VC dollars invested in U.S. startups across the board last year.   \nRev: Ithaca Startup Works invites the public to “Empowering the Ecosystem” on June 23 (6:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET)\, an evening devoted to networking and addressing how to move the entrepreneurial ecosystem toward gender equity.  \n Andrea Ippolito\, CEO and founder of SimpliFed\, a Rev member company that recently closed a $6 million seed round\, will be leading an engaging panel discussion with founders\, investors\, and business leaders on ways the ecosystem can better support women and non-binary entrepreneurs seeking startup success. The night – free and open to all – will also showcase startup pitches and include mingling over local food and beverages.  \nAttendees must abide by Cornell University’s COVID-19 event protocols (detailed in the Eventbrite upon registration). \n \n\n Register now URL:https://www.revithaca.com/event/better-together-may-19-2022-2/ LOCATION:Rev: Ithaca Startup Works\, 314 E State St\, Ithaca CATEGORIES:Community Event,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.revithaca.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/June-2022-NN-Digital-Slide-1920-x-1080-px-FINAL.png ORGANIZER;CN="Rev%3A Ithaca Startup Works":MAILTO:rev@revithaca.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
