As part of its inaugural 13-week program, Wichita’s e2e Accelerator held a “Customer Hack Night” on July 28th. The event helps connects entrepreneurs to mentors in the community. Entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to present on a current business project–everything from branding to pricing–and to seek feedback and advice in an intimate setting.
“Every opportunity I’m provided an audience with the mentors, I always walk away with an additional idea that can be implemented immediately,” said Miguel Johns, founder of KingFit, in a press release. “For KingFit, the first Customer Hack Night has already led to some big changes for our company.”
The event embodies the spirit of e2e, which stands for “entrepreneur-to-entrepreneur.”
“Accelerators, at their core, are driven by the mentors, seasoned entrepreneurs, and industry experts within their communities,” said Jacob Wayman, e2e Director, in a press release. “The Customer Hack Nights are designed to tap into the rich knowledge, skills and experience needed to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs here in Wichita.”
