Start Me Up

You’ve got a great idea—whether it is a business, a service, or a product—and you’re ready to get serious about it.

Other than writing a business plan on the back of a napkin, you’re not really sure what to do next.

For this session, we have invited a panel of experts from professional service fields to share insights on common mistakes business owners make early on. From finance, to legal and everything in between, this hour-long session will provide what you need to know before you take the big leap into entrepreneurship.
