Startup founders: While building a successful business is your primary goal, it’s critical that you understand how to protect your wealth and set yourself up for long-term financial success in the process.

Join us for a special event dedicated to empowering Michigan’s startup founders with essential knowledge on wealth management. Learn from a panel of experienced startup founders that have been in your shoes and can share their own stories on topics Qualified Small Business Stock, secondaries, trusts, and the complex situations you may find yourself in while growing your business (like dealing with upside down cap tables).

By the end of this event, you’ll feel more informed and confident about managing your wealth while building your business. We want you to walk away with a clearer understanding of key financial topics and strategies, ready to apply this knowledge towards achieving broader success in your entrepreneurial journey.
