GrowthCraft for Startups

This month's theme - Low-Cost Business Infrastructure: Getting Business Value From Your First Investments in Processes and Systems

This interactive workshop will be led by Paul Zaegowski (Tech Stack & Infrastructure Advisor) and Jesan Sorrells (Leadership Advisor).
Leaders have to evolve their first business infrastructure choices, sometimes rapidly and without enough preparation. When you change from a sole proprietor status to a company, the systems and services needed to run the organization can no longer be based on one person's preference. This can become a leader’s first business process development challenge. The way it proceeds can set a precedent for other leadership challenges.

We'll talk about these two important questions: How do you choose the functional areas that need early infrastructure investment? How should you approach the challenge of getting folks who have joined your venture to buy in, adopt, and effectively use these infrastructure systems?

You’ll leave this session clearer, smarter, and with actionable insight you can use immediately, even if you're pre-revenue or pre-raise.
