This is a YouTube video titled "Our Untapped Startup Academy Burbank is officially launched!" containing a multi-speaker event recording from February 3, 2023. The content features several speakers discussing a startup event in Burbank, including networking, venture capital meetings, and the launch of the Untapped Startup Academy. George Bandarian, founder and CEO of Untapped Ventures, speaks about the program offerings and encourages founders to join the academy. The video highlights community building and entrepreneurial support in the Burbank area.
The event was amazing today. The crowd was really buzzing from the minute people walked in the door networking, ready for the keynote speech and then to sit with a founder, really hear feedback about the event, have that Fireside Chat feel. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
Yeah, I had a great time here at the event tonight. The Academy and the Mastermind piece to it is extremely important. As they say, if you want to go fast, go by yourself, you want to go far, go with others.
Without further ado, let's welcome George. Our goal at that is to become the most impactful and desirable founder community globally. This might sound a little crazy, but all big ideas sound crazy at first until somebody actually makes it happen. And at the moment I met George and he told me about this program where I could really start to validate the idea, learn a little more and just be kind of in a great experience with other entrepreneurs. I ask you guys, how many of you guys think you know what your business is and you've been working on it for a while, but maybe it is time to pivot or maybe it is time for you to talk to more customers and listen to what they're saying and maybe build what they're saying versus what you think they should have.
There are many exciting things happening in Burbank. We invite you to join us as we continue to grow and evolve. It is a great time to consider Burbank as your next home base and we are actively trying to bring people here.
I've been going to many of the venture capital meetings from Santa Monica to Hollywood to here, and this one was really, I think, the best one in terms of hands on knowledge that could be put to use.
Hey guys. George Bandarian, founder and CEO of Untapped Ventures. And wow, we just had an amazing event here in Burbank. We kicked off the untapped Startup Academy and this is going to be a great program for all you founders out there that want to build that next venture scale company. The Startup Academy is going to be a great place to do that. You're going to get Mastermind calls, you're going to get Playbooks, tools, coaching, a workshop, and then a big pitch fest at the end. So hope you sign up and hope to see you on the inside.
