Highlights

Panel: The Four Horsemen of the Solo Business Owner

Get essential knowledge that every freelancer and solo entrepreneur needs to master for their success. Hear from a hand-picked panel of experts on the topics you would rather avoid:

• What you need to know about taxes – advice from a tax specialist.
• What you need to know about insurance – insights from an insurance advisor.
• What you need to know about cybersecurity – best practices from Cybersnap.
• What you need to know about legal matters – tips from a small business lawyer.

This is your crash course in avoiding costly pitfalls and protecting your business.

Speed Mentorship

Think speed dating — but for your business growth.

How it works:

• 5-10 seasoned solo business owners will be stationed around the room. Each has a QR code linking to their BriteStart profile so you can follow up later.
• Bring 3 ideas, questions, or challenges you want advice on.
• In quick, focused 8-minute bursts, get direct, personal guidance from different perspectives as you sit with different mentors.
• Open Networking
• Connect with peers, mentors, and future collaborators over casual networking.
