Do you know startup founders who are making the world a better place, and could inspire our young audiences? Urge them to send in a request to present. Founders who present at AlligatorZone are worthy of celebration because AlligatorZone is important work. There are other very important reasons why startup founders ought to consider presenting at AlligatorZone. Besides, it is a family event, so startup founders routinely bring family members along to the sessions, and often a family member (a kid or a parent) introduces the founder.
