    The GSB Entrepreneur and Energy Clubs are organizing a series of small group entrepreneur dinners throughout the week of Oct. 12 so that entrepreneurial-minded grad students across the entire university can better get to know each other in an informal context.

    Most of you know how important metrics are, but the big problem is - Where do you start? What do you look at? How much do you look at and when is "enough" enough.
    Participate in this active discussion as they share their ideas and experiences on startup acceleration, analytics and metrics.
