Cannon Connect: A digital community of entrepreneurs, programs, opportunities, and business resources awaits

[Houston, Texas | September 9th, 2020] The Cannon’s longtime mission to support entrepreneurs near and far has been amplified with the launch of Cannon Connect, an innovation hub that can be accessed online anytime, anywhere. The Cannon’s “digital network that works when you do” promises business education modules, access to advisors with decades of experience, pathways to investment and financing opportunities and most importantly, community.

Cannon Connect will host ongoing online workshops, summits, and innovation festivals throughout each year. These gatherings will also help connect corporations to innovative solutions provided by smaller, fast-acting innovators and will help fellow entrepreneurs grow, pivot and scale.

“The purpose of online access is to meet entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses where they are and introduce them to others for the success of their businesses. No entrepreneur should be denied the same opportunities as those companies with access to the physical innovation powerhouses we’ve all come to know," said The Cannon’s President, Lawson Gow.

The Cannon’s CEO Jon Lambert further detailed The Cannon’s holistic effort to support entrepreneurship everywhere. “This online access will continue to complement The Cannon’s own physical workspaces and expansions. We are excited about the opportunity to better serve our resident members while growing our digital community through the addition of new entrepreneurs locally and beyond – removing geographic borders to connect our virtual community has long been one of our primary goals.”

Additionally, Cannon Connect will serve as a key asset for The Cannon’s initiative to support the growth and development of innovation ecosystems worldwide - helping cities, counties, and other community-driven organizations to uncover, energize and develop the entrepreneurial spirit within their communities. 

Cannon Connect will democratize access to the resources that entrepreneurs need to be successful, will serve as the ultimate innovation gathering experience and will create an open network to support entrepreneurial innovation, collaboration and acceleration.
