Eric Roberts, 20Fathoms Executive Director, recently announced his retirement and now we’re seeking someone to lead the next chapter at 20Fathoms. If you care deeply about the success of startups in the region and place a significant priority on the region’s development and growth, we’d like to talk to you. Check out the job posting and please share with your networks! Eric has been at the helm as we’ve significantly expanded our services to support more entrepreneurs in Northwest Michigan over the last several years. You’ve seen him on the stage at TCNewTech, pouring wine at our Open Houses, meeting one-on-one with startup founders, and welcoming everyone into our startup community with a handshake and encouragement. It’s hard to find a fiercer advocate for local entrepreneurs or our region in general -- “We get to live here!” as Eric likes to say. We’re so grateful for his leadership. https://lnkd.in/e8ERa-BG
