History
We started out with a simple idea. Because it is always exciting to see what young entrepreneurs create, we wanted to initiate a conference especially geared toward these college students and young professionals. We didn’t want attendants to pay a lot of money to meet old people in a stuffy setting. Rather, together with BASES, we wanted to host a free event that provides a chance for young adults to gain some exposure, knowledge, and inspiration not only to the tech industry, but to what it’s like being your own boss.
Mission Statement
At Entrepreneur 27, we aim to:
- Create an open forum for the stimulation and exchange of ideas
- Generate opportunities to learn and inspire each other
- Promote entrepreneurship in the technology area
Why 27?
After extensive research and studying trends, we found that most successful entrepreneurs have been under 27
Here’s what you should get out of this conference:
- Learn how our speakers did what they did, the challenges they overcame, what motivated them, and what they are doing now.
- What it is like to run your own company
- Meet other people with similar ideas and passions

Research Project from the University of Texas at Austin
I am Hoon Im, from the University of Texas at Austin, and a research assistant for the university’s Nursing School in Dr. Im
Dr. Eun-Ok Im is conducting an Internet study on the physical activity attitudes among diverse ethnic groups of middle-aged women (40-60 Y/O), and your organization mainly aims at Asian American, so we believe that Asian women who are in your organization will benefit from participating in this study. With more participation, we can make our data more complete; besides, your opinions and experiences are very imperative and cannot be neglected.
We are inviting you to help us announce this study on your website or through newsletter. Would you please post the following link (http://mapa.nur.utexas.edu) on your website or announce the study through your newsletter or forward to your members?
I appreciate your announcement. If the announcement fee is required, please provide me the related information.
In this study, each participant will be reimbursed with a gift certificate of 10 dollars per Internet survey and an additional gift certificate of 50 dollars per online forum discussion (6 months).
The survey will begin with asking you a series of eligibility questions. If the study has filled our sampling quota for an individual with your characteristics you will receive a message that states so.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any question about our study. I am happy to talk with you. Thank you so much for considering this study.
Thanks again for your kind consideration,
Sincerely,
