Startup Know-How: Slide 0 – The Magic Sauce of Your Venture, NWEN

When: Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 5:30pm – 7:30pm

Where: The HUB Seattle, 220 – 2nd Avenue South, Seattle

What: If founders are visionaries, and successful entrepreneurs are execution experts, what happens between vision and execution? All wisdom says stick to a standard 10-slide presentation when pitching your start-up to investors. This session will provide evidence that there’s a slide that gets ignored and is the one that truly differentiates very similar ideas – Your Vision!

From a vision, comes the mission (more than a tagline); it is the unifying force that motivates your team and partners to succeed. From recruiting and retaining team members to crafting meaningful partnerships, it’s hard to get alignment unless you’re clear on your purpose. When you’re consumed with day-to-day operations, it’s easy to lose sight of that “north star.”

Learn the building blocks of leading a solid enterprise from a pro: Bobby Bakshi, Chief Inspiration Officer and Founder of Resonant Insights. Bobby will share case studies and walk you through the simple steps to creating a roadmap, starting with values, vision and mission. Come prepared to participate in this experiential workshop, ready with your stories and experiences. Bobby will cover:

• The basics: define the building blocks of a purpose-driven enterprise and why it is a key to success.
• The work: participate in interactive exercises to get clear about your personal and enterprises values, vision, and mission.
• The action: start on an action plan to connect your activities with the work you do in the workshop.
