Entrepreneurs featured at Chamber PIP Breakfast

For years, the leadership and staff of the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce have produced the monthly "Power in Partnership" breakfast.
If you haven't attended, you need to. If you have, you know it's time well spent. The Chamber was gracious in giving the October program to EntrePaducah. After updating chamber members and guests on EntrePaducah's activities for the year, it was my pleasure to launch the first "Entrepreneur of the Month" award (see next blog post).
It was also my pleasure to introduce a new friend to the audience, our keynote speaker Ankur Gopal of Owensboro, Kentucky.
Ankur is the quintessential entreprenuer. Already operating his third company, Ankur scouts for current "needs" then pursues technology (and a business) to meet those needs. His latest venture, Agent511, is a mobile communications solutions company focusing on text messaging. Ankur gave an outstanding speech about the power of text communications, and inspired the crowd with his passion for staying in his home state of Kentucky.
It became evident why "Power in Partnership" is such an appropriate name for the monthly get-together. The Chamber's partnership with EntrePaducah allowed EntrePaducah to showcase Ankur Gopal's company Agent511. After the meeting, Ankur was inundated with business cards from businesses and others from this area wanting to know more about mobile solutions. Ultimately, wouldn't it be great if Ankur (and other tech-driven businesses like his) chose Paducah to open headquarters or satellite offices.
There is Power in Partnership.
