We've got a last-minute special treat! Sharon K Gillenwater, a tech startup founder, author, and speaker, is doing an event in Fort Collins and will be making her way through Denver! She has agreed to speak to a group of entrepreneurs while she's here for a private event, so we're offering this opportunity to hear her speak for an intimate group.
Join us for an insightful fireside chat with Sharon, who is dedicated to making entrepreneurship more accessible for everyone. Sharon, who grew her company Boardroom Insiders, Inc. to a $25 million exit without losing her soul, will share her journey and secrets from her book "Scaling With Soul: How I Built & Sold a $25 Million Tech Company Without Being an A**hole." This is a unique opportunity to learn from her experiences, get inspired, and understand the nuances of scaling a company with integrity. Don’t miss this chance to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and gain valuable insights into creating successful and soul-aligned enterprises. Bring your questions, network with fellow attendees, and let Sharon’s journey inspire your own entrepreneurial dreams.
We'll also enjoy a Happy Hour at Tacos Tequila Whiskey after to keep the conversation going. Hope to see you there!
This is a private event, and seats are quite limited! Please RSVP to guarantee your seat!
