The Founders Night Out – Biz Jam (Get Help Fast!)

Are you an entrepreneur, startup founder, or business owner working to scale your business or overcome tough challenges? Biz Jam is here to help! This new, high-energy event series is designed to bring together the power of experienced minds and the collective wisdom of the business community to help you tackle your biggest hurdles and seize opportunities with confidence.

What is a Biz Jam?

Biz Jam is a dynamic, collaborative working session where you can share your business challenges, pitch your ideas, and get actionable advice from a room full of senior business owners, serial startup founders, and industry experts. It’s not just another networking event—it’s a hands-on opportunity to gain valuable insights, discover creative solutions, and connect with others who have walked the path before you.

How It Works:

• Your Moment to Shine: Every attendee will get 2 minutes to introduce themselves, pitch their business, and share the challenge or opportunity they need help with.
• Crowd-Sourced Problem Solving: After the introductions, the group will select one or more challenges to focus on for the evening. Based on these, we’ll break into small brainstorm groups to dig deep into the selected topics. These groups will work together to generate innovative solutions, share actionable insights, and offer diverse perspectives.
• Learning for All: Even if your specific challenge isn’t selected, you’ll gain valuable knowledge from the discussions, experience new approaches to problem-solving, and take home fresh ideas to apply to your own business.

Why Attend?

• Expert Insights: Gain access to a diverse pool of experts in marketing, finance, operations, customer service, and technology who will be in the room to share their knowledge and help guide the discussions.
• Tailored Support: If you have a specific need or area of expertise you’d like to see represented, let the Tech-Prize team know in advance, and we’ll ensure the right people are in the room for your topic.
• Peer Connections: Meet other founders and business owners facing similar challenges. Build meaningful connections with like-minded professionals who can offer support, advice, or collaboration opportunities.
• Accelerate Your Business: Use the “Power of the Group” to fast-track your growth and solve issues that have been holding you back.

Event Flow:

• Networking Kickoff: Start the evening by mingling with fellow entrepreneurs and making connections that matter.
• Biz Jam Session: Engage in structured brainstorming and problem-solving led by experts and peers.
• Closing Networking: Wrap up the night by reconnecting with the group, exchanging ideas, and building lasting relationships.
