The Edge of Chaos in collaboration with the UAB Commercialization Accelerator will be featuring Max Polec to highlight his side hustle of sewing handmade bow ties. Max is a recent Birmingham transplant that moved here from Philadelphia through the Venture For America Fellowship. Max fell in love with entrepreneurship when he started his first business at age 15 to pay for attending college at the University of Pittsburgh.

The event will include a pop-up shop of Max’s bow ties from 1-4pm. Make sure you get the perfect gift for Father’s Day! Every purchase goes towards a fund that will support a social impact project in Birmingham later this August. Max will speak from 2-3pm on his entrepreneurial journey with Q&A to follow reception with snacks and networking will follow from 3-4pm. All are welcome to attend!
