PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS FOR DESIGNERS ONLY.
Philly Tech Meetup, Venturef0rth and Business Design Quad are organizing a series of events designed to match designers and startups, creating opportunities for internships and jobs.
This first event will give designers/creatives more insight into how they can fit into the local startup ecosystem, particularly for those with an eye towards internships and employment as summer approaches. We want to help new designers understand the value they can bring to startups and what they should expect in return.
