About Redstar.com
Redstar Salons are intended to provide insights for entrepreneurs looking to find exciting new market opportunities that may be "under" the radar for most young business people.

Redstar Salons are centered on a major market trend, and feature industry experts in the trend, institutional investors in related fields, and active entrepreneurs currently taking advantages of opportunities in the space in question. The very small live audience (less than 40 people) is also largely composed of the three groups described above, plus entrepreneurs interested in new opportunities. These Salons are very intimate and established in a discussion/conversation format with no formal presentations and meant to generate ideas for entrepreneurs, investors, and policy makers, specifically focused on new product and service ideas.
