On behalf of
Tech Coast Angels (TCA) and
the UCLA Office of Intellectual Property Administration (OIPA),
UCLA faculty are invited to the 2nd Annual TCA/OIPA Wine Tasting Mixer - an informal information and networking event at UCLA on June 10, 2003.
(RSVP required. See below!)
Come and meet entrepreneurs and business people who have
"been there, done that", and who can help UCLA faculty assess
and commercialize their inventions. A short panel discussion, followed
by questions and answers, will kick off the event. However, the main thrust
of the evening will be to facilitate networking between the faculty and
the angels, and there will be plenty of wine and cheese.
