Founder Accolades

  • "I appreciated the diverse group of entrepreneurs and their wide range of knowledge, as well as expertise. The most helpful discussion to us was the "Lessons You've Learned & Something You're Struggling with Currently". As much as we utilize and cherish a good resource, these moments of relatability are what we appreciate most. They help us give ourselves grace and remind us of our purpose, in turn motivating us to regain momentum and focus."
