Leadership Development for Technical & Creative Specialists

Creative-Technology Founders 

Running a business can sometimes feel solitary.
​​​​​​​It doesn't need to.

At times running a business can feel isolating, especially with all the ups and downs and uncertainty we handle every day.  It is so easy to get into a "busy" pattern of focusing on all the tasks to be done, and forget that so much of business success and opportunities are built on relationships.

...AND entrepreneurs are some of the most interesting and inspiring people to hang out with. So let's connect!
  • Meet awesome founders, who understand your daily hustle like nobody else can.
 
  • Get a better sense of the current business climate through multiple perspectives.
 
  • Compare shared experiences and learn from other business owners journeys.
 
  • Fuel your inspiration by hearing what other innovators are working on.
 
  • Practice pitching your work in a supportive group.
 
  • Explore possibilities for collaboration, referrals, and support.

Founder Speed Networking & Webinars

Who Is It For?

If you're actively operating a business you founded in creative technologies and services (tech, games, VFX, animation, sound, pre/post-production, etc), this is for you!

What If I Have A Business Idea?

If you're just thinking about starting a business or in the very very early stages, but not fully committed, please come back when you're actively turning your ideas into action.

I understand that this might feel excluding. Founding and growing a company is one of the most rewarding and most challenging adventures, that will grow you in ways you can't even imagine before you experience it for yourself. That's what makes entrepreneurs uniquely inspirational. I can't wait to welcome you into these networking calls when you've made the leap and are forging your path into the unknown!

Speed Networking Format

  • 60 minute Zoom call.

  • Randomly assigned pairs in breakout rooms.

  • Switch rooms every 7 minutes and connect with more fellow entrepreneurs.

  • You choose your breakout room for the final round, to connect with those you haven't met yet. 

  • Share contact information in the call, or complete the optional spreadsheet to share with the whole group, then continue the conversations at your own pace.

Webinar & Discussion Format

  • 60 minute Zoom call.

  • A short 15-20 minute presentation, to provoke ideas.

  • 30 minutes of small group discussions, to share insights.

  • Regroup for the final few minutes, and share key points with the whole group.

The Cost

Zero cost. These events are all about building community.

No Selling

While recognizing that sales are an essential part of every business, the aim of this event is to make connections and build community. I want the connections you make during the event to lead to great business outcomes. Overt selling of products and services just feels icky though, when it doesn't come from a place of genuine authentic connection, so please don't do that!
