Big events, small events, panels, parties, workouts, virtual — whatever your style, the next few months are packed with potential!
Here are a few that I’ll be hosting or attending.
Can you make it? What type of events are your favorite? Do you dislike networking like I do? 😉

We’ll cover things like how to:
choose the right idea
find your first customers
raise the money you need
confidently lead
…even if you don’t have a tech background.
