On 17th September at the National Space Centre, Leicester, Michael Acton Smith, co-founder of gadget site Firebox.com and serial entrepreneur will talk about his experiences of setting up a business from scratch, raising venture capital during the internet boom, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, to reaching profitability and beyond.

Michael has also raised $11m in venture capital for his latest company Mind Candy which specialises in the development of multi-player online games.
 
The event is being presented by the emda funded Growth Investment Network East Midlands and is a unique opportunity to hear a fascinating entrepreneurial story and learn from all the experiences that Michael has had along the way.
