What are Micro-Multinationals ?

Startups are increasingly setting up operations globally, whether its a technology startup that has its engineering team in Israel/India or the latest cleantech energy startup, which markets its products in Japan/Germany...startups are going global !

So, we will be hosting Trevor Loy, Managing Partner, Flywheel Ventures at Duke's Entrepreneurship Week on Nov 19th from 2:45 to 4:00 pm.
