Moderated by Blair Garrou\, co-founder and Managing Partner of Mercury Fund\, the first institutional VC to carve out Middle America as a region unto itself. This fireside chat will explore Jack and Peter’s vision for entrepreneurs outside the coasts and how Copper Sky Capital is seeking to meet them on their own terms\, not Silicon Valley’s terms.
