LVstartup is a monthly e-newsletter about the Lehigh Valley entrepreneurial scene.
The New York Times recently ran a front page story about the Lehigh Valley economy. A Bethlehem cosmetics company is the region’s fastest growing company for a third straight year. And an actress known for Orange is the New Black and True Blood is headlining a local event about entrepreneurship.
These were among the stories featured in the latest issue of LVstartup, a monthly e-newsletter about entrepreneurs and startups in the Lehigh Valley, which was released today.
