At Rough Draft Ventures, we invest in Boston’s top student startups. We’re dedicated to not only supporting our city’s most promising entrepreneurs, but also bringing them together to learn from one another. We’re pleased to announce our latest initiative towards connecting Boston’s student entrepreneur community: Rough Draft Sketch — or as its called on the Twitterverse, #RDVSketch.

Rough Draft Sketch is a monthly, Boston-based meetup, sponsored by Rough Draft Ventures, which pulls together university students from around the Boston area to discuss the pains and pleasures of starting and running technology startups, particularly while in school.

Each #RDVSketch features a panel of thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators from around the world, all interested in helping tomorrow’s leaders soak up the knowledge necessary to succeed in founding new, world-changing ventures.

Our inaugural #RDVSketch will focus on how to build a well-balanced startup team. Our esteemed speakers will include HubSpot VP of Engineering Elias Torres, Intelligent.ly Co-founder Sarah Hodges, and Koa Labs Founder Andy Palmer.

Please join us Monday, November 11th at 7:00pm at the Cambridge Innovation Center, where we’ll convene for this exciting kickoff meetup! Special thanks to KPMG for sponsoring our meetup space.RSVP for the inaugural #RDVSketch here.

Future meetup topics will include how to raise your first round of capital and navigating the art of startup public relations. Tweet us at @roughdraftvc to suggest topics that you’re interested in hearing about!

We look forward to fostering this monthly meetup for all Boston student entrepreneurs, and we hope to see you at an #RDVSketch soon!
