We’re excited to host The First Bet, a joint event by the Rice MBA Entrepreneurship Association and the Energy & Cleantech Association.

The idea behind the event is simple: every entrepreneur has a moment when they decide to bet on themselves before they have proof that it will work.

We’ll be joined by four entrepreneurs with very different paths:

Sumedha Gamage - Co-Founder & CEO, Nexentra
Roopal Davé - EVP Strategy, Citroniq Chemicals
Andrew Lane - Founder & CEO, Capwell Services
Jonathan Polak - CEO, Mesentech
Tuesday, October 27 at 4:30 PM
McNear Hall, Room 214


Light food will be provided. Open to all MBA students.
