There was a time when entrepreneurship meant figuring it all out yourself—building behind closed doors, protecting your ideas, and only sharing once everything looked polished. But a new generation of entrepreneurs is building differently.
We’re building in community.
We’re sharing the behind-the-scenes. Collaborating instead of competing. Creating opportunities for one another. Making introductions, exchanging ideas, and recognizing that the people around us can become one of our greatest business assets.
Join us for an intimate evening with local founders, authors, and community builders exploring why community may be one of the most powerful business strategies of our time.
Together, we’ll talk about how communities can create visibility, referrals, partnerships, creativity, resilience, and sustainable growth and what it actually looks like to build a business with people rather than simply for them.
Expect meaningful conversation, honest stories from behind the scenes of entrepreneurship, new connections, and plenty of time to meet other women building and dreaming in the Bay Area.
Featuring:

Moderator: Magali Mathieu — Founder, Unlock Your Vitality

Jadah Sellner — Author of She Builds & Founder, She Builds Collective

Come for the conversation. Leave with new ideas, new connections, and a reminder that you don’t have to build alone.
