WiSE: The Road to Success + Launch Party 🚀🥂

For The Road to Success, we're bringing together two absolute forces of nature together for our WiSE launch! Christy Laurence (Plann) and SJ Kurtini (Tinybeans), to share the stories behind their success.

Christy bootstrapped Plann to 3 million users before its acquisition by Linktree, while SJ co-founded Tinybeans and helped take the company public on the ASX. Both have built businesses that reached remarkable milestones, but getting there takes a lot more than a good idea.

We'll get into the decisions that shaped their journeys, the challenges they faced along the way, what they'd do differently, and the lessons they've picked up from building businesses from the ground up.

​Event Format ⏰

5:30 pm - 6:00 pm | Arrival + Mingle

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm | Session

7:30 pm - 8:30 pm | More Mingling
