Techstars Startup Week Dallas 2018

Valerie Freeman, CEO, Imprimis Group is a tough S.O.B. She started her company in the 1980s, where the term "Women-owned" actually hindered rather than helped and the notion of a #MeToo movement was laughable... Through securing her first bank loan, where the officer wouldn't even acknowledge her, to now having 5+ companies under the parent company of Imprimis, Valerie knows a thing or two about being a female entrepreneur. Heck, Valerie knows a thing or two about being an entrepreneur with odds stacked against her! Come hear from this incredible CEO, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and all around badass. You're guaranteed to leave with something - be it inspiration, food for thought, or perhaps rage? You won't want to miss this fireside moderated by, equally badass, Danielle Abril, Managing Editor, D CEO magazine.
