Denver Startup Week Panel: What We Can Learn from Young Makers

Makers come in all shapes and sizes, and even all ages! Join us as both youth and young adult entrepreneurs share their insights about Denver’s Maker Movement. Panelists will detail the evolution of their businesses, explaining how they sustainably grew from youth-based hobbies to serious, full-time revenue generators. Business owners will highlight the key tools and resources in the Denver community and beyond that have propelled them to the next level as Makers. Panelists include Maile McManis of Sewing with Smiles, Andrew Kurtz of A Designs, Hannah Doolittle of Simply Denver Soap Co, and Julia Doolittle of Olaf’s Dog Cookies. The emcee? YOU! The audience will ask questions throughout this interactive session, so be prepared to step away with inspiration to start and grow your own business, big or small!
