Building a Business from the Ground Up

If you're looking to start a business and get rich quick, don't bother coming to the September BIZ networking luncheon. Now, if you want to build a business from the ground up while fueling your passion and enjoying your life, serial entrepreneur Brian Hemesath is happy to share a few stories on his insights gained over a decade of practice. As CEO of Catchwind and President of VolunteerLocal, Hemesath will talk about his "Lessons Learned while Bootstrapping Business" on Sept. 21.

Hemesath will share his experiences on key components to startup success beyond raising capital. These components include: the best reason to start a business (hint: it's not to get rich), choosing the right partner, the best way to network for business and community growth and many more.
