e2e is an educational networking program with chapters across Wyoming, in Laramie, Sheridan, Gillette, and Casper. The events are designed to improve the climate for the start-up and growth of entrepreneurial companies. Five meetings are held each year at each location where entrepreneurs meet with their business peers and service providers. Attendees range from students interested in entrepreneurship to well established community leaders and entrepreneurs. Each e2e event begins with forty-five minutes of networking, followed by a forty-five minute presentation given by a successful entrepreneur or industry expert. Previous speakers have included industry-leading presenters such as the Vice President of Marketing for the Baltimore Ravens NFL football team, the Chief Scientist for Search Optimization of Yahoo!, and numerous venture capitalists. Occasionally, speakers have been leaders of successful local companies that are better able to speak on the challenges of the Wyoming business economy. e2e events have been the catalyst for starting multiple companies, and has created a business environment of collaboration and openness that did not exist in Wyoming before the first e2e event.
