Third Wave Fashion

Last week, we announced our Style Startups program for fashion tech entrepreneurs.

Today, we’re announcing the first series of Master Classes.

FYI—THEY’RE GONNA ROCK.

We’ll be kicking things off with the “Summer of Mobile” Series. We are going to take you by the fashionable hand and walk you through everything that you need to know to have a smart strategy in place for emerging platforms and sophisticated new consumers. Whether you are building a mobile app or are wanting to be smart about how you live on the web, join us! We have amazing speakers lined up. Check it:

Class #1 – “Seven Deadly Mobile Myths” by Josh Clark, the web and software designer who also happens to be a hugely popular keynote speaker and author.

Class #2 – “Mobile Content Strategy: Adapting Ourselves to Mobile Content” by Karen McGrane, content and usability expert, world-renowned speaker, and soon-to-be author.

Class #3 – ”Monetizing Mobile” by an awesome speaker TBA soon.

Read more class details here!

All master classes are always free to Style Startups members, but for our introductory series, we are offering a chance for a very limited number of non-members to attend for the insanely low rate of $50.

See? We’re serious about wanting to help you kick ass.
