Founder Stories with Andy Vickers

We hope you’ve had some great takeaways from this year’s Coffee Chats: Founder Stories so far! This month, Innovation Portal is collaborating with EDPA to bring Coffee Chats: Founder Stories under the statewide Coffee and Collisions series. For this crossover, Andy Vickers joins us to discuss how important it is for entrepreneurs and startup founders to focus on their own mental health throughout their entrepreneurial journey.

Meet this month’s Founder:
