Hi everybody!
We hope that you all did well on midterms and now have a few a few easy weeks until Thanksgiving! We are sure excited about the next few weeks, mainly because we have some awesome events coming up. But before I give you a heads up on that, let me briefly talk about something that has always been a primary intention for us: we like to see connections being made, teams being formed, and entrepreneurs finding co-founders.
We want to build a community of entrepreneurs, both here in the Leslie eLab but extending to all of NYU. We know that many of you are looking for help with developing their ideas and what better way to do that with fellow students?
To facilitate this process, we will host a TeamBuilding event at the Leslie eLab this week (details below). You will have chance to pitch your idea, let others know what you need or got, and we will officially introduce our "Build a Team" wall! How exciting is that? Make sure to be a part of it!
Now for all the other exciting events:
Tuesday, November 11
Startup Lunch and Learns: Lean UX
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Jeff Gothelf, author of Lean UX, is an incredibly knowledgeable speaker about Lean UX principles and techniques and will candidly share what it takes to design the actual user experience and not just a bland deliverable.

TeamBuilding - Find Developers, Designers, Entrepreneurs
1:00pm- 2:00pm
Come, elevator-pitch your idea, share your needs and gots, and find collaborators for your project! This event is a direct result of the need many of you have expressed and we want to make sure that you find the right people to build your success!
Friday, November 14 - Saturday, November 15
Hackbit: Bitcoin Student Hackathon
