  • If Tuesday was packed, today was something else. - We got to finally check the venue for two of the events... hours before the events happened (long story short, we tried, but couldn't check them earlier). But we did it - One of the events got 0 (yeah, ZERO) attendees, but we talked with the hosts since we were already there and they are now committed to be involved as soon as we start the AKEW 25. Stay tuned to know who, but it is a big deal of organization... at the federal level. - When we thought all the tech was set for an event... NOTHING worked minutes before the start. Glad our speaker Carmen Paredes was ready (yeah she was I-have-my-own-projector-Let-me-grab-it ready) - Folks from BBB came from out is the state today and we kept talking about AKEW until a few minutes ago. Fantastic conversation and lots of ideas exchanged! - and we added another event! 53 total for this week (well, so far ... ??) Now... You ready for tomorrow??? Check the calendar, and you will find 12 hours af events! From 9 am to 9 pm!! Here is a sneak peak: - Sales in 2024, then AI (by the very same Carlos Machuca), and marketing later in the day thanks to Alaska Small Business Development Center - Growth in food industry, - Expanding internationally, by Tech Wildcatters - How to be ready for loans, by U.S. Small Business Administration - Alaska MediaFirm event about mainstream ministry - Meeting local lenders, by First National Bank Check www.akew.org/events for all the details. Or wait until tomorrow's posts in the morning to see the summary. I'm any case, see you tomorrow!!!

  • What. A. Day ! - We learned from 3 top entrepreneurs how and who they would hire (and looking at how several of their companies did and are doing, it must be working) - We networked as much as one can network with entrepreneurs, accelerator managers, and investors who have deals in Asia, the Lower 48, including Silicon Valley, and Europe. - Mayor LaFrance signed a proclamation, which is a big deal, during a meeting with some movers and shakers in the community. We learned some "wow-I-didn't-know-that" information from a bank itself, which is kind of important for a small business. We also learned how to navigate the legalities of permitting, licensing, etc. - We had issues with our remote event feature on the website, but got fixed thanks to help from the community - We learned how to start a business, how to make projections (and that dreaming and projections are not the same), and more HR to do and not to do. - We... call it a day now, because tomorrow.... ==> we (and YOU) don't want to miss - 1 Million Cups (special EDITION!!) - 49 SAF insights about how to find angel investors - Carmen Paredes talk about growth and leadership - Advice on how to protect your ideas and products from the very own US Patents and Trademarks Office - Growth by Allan Carraway - and lots more !! Check the rest of the events here: https://lnkd.in/gH-H-sJT See you in a few hours!!!

  • Let's get this party started! (plus extra gold nugget at the end of the post) Alaska Entrepreneurship Week is coming in full force now — and you won't wanna miss the biggest event of the week. We're not just talking about some boring presentation or awkward networking, either; This is the event to know what this is all about, what to expect, meet the movers and shakers, and make the most valuable business connections ever! Our Kick-off Party includes food, friends, and a family-fit atmosphere, so everybody can show up for a good time (including the kids!) Additional event details here https://lnkd.in/guRU8yff and a super cool and useful calendar of the rest of the 45+ events happening during Oct 7th to Oct 11th here: https://akew.org/events #AlaskaEntrepreneurshipWeek #AKEW24 #entrepreneurshipweek GOLD NUGGET: We have a first-ever type of event! At noon, at the same place, we'll have an open-door meeting with elected officials to discuss small businesses in Alaska. It's a no-campaign, no-complain meeting: we'll have a constructive conversation. You are invited! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g4k5FVBq What a beginning of the week!!

  • October 7th is almost here!! The week with over 40 events statewide will start with a bang. Check www.akew.org/events to find out what happens that Monday (and the rest of the week) Tha being said, our 100% volunteer event would be nothing without a rallying support of sponsors—both monetary and in-kind—to back us up, and that’s exactly what @49SAF did this year. Just to give an example of one of many things they’ve done: with their access to the municipality’s printing station, they were able to donate over 200 posters for us —a feat we would’ve had to spend hundreds on without them. Melanie Lucas-Conwell and @Calvin Chang didn't just help from their chairs at the 49th SAF; they also poured countless hours of their personal time, too!! THANKS!! If you don’t know 49th State Angel Fund, they’re Alaska’s only Venture Capital Firm investing in startups of all sizes. They regularly hand out checks over $100,000 to businesses less than 5 years old to help them start, grow, and scale beyond their current means. If that’s not a perfect pair for Alaska Entrepreneurship Week, then we don’t know what is! #smallbusinessrocks #smallbusinessstartup #entrepreneurshipbusinessowner #entrepreneneurshipeducation #entrepreneurshipjourney #AlaskaEntrepreneurshipWeek #AKEW24 #entrepreneurshipweek
