SUMMARY:TCNewTech Presents: Lessons in Building a Business
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Sabrina Jordan of 8bitinsights\n\n\nJoin TCNewTech for an evening with Sabrina Jordan\, founder of 8bitinsights — a conversation about lessons learned working in the tech industry\, why she left\, and why she chose to build her own company differently. \nSabrina spent years working in the tech industry — an experience that left her with a firsthand look at what can go wrong. Rather than walking away from this experience discouraged\, she took those lessons and used them to found 8bitinsights on her own terms\, choosing an employee-owned structure that reflects what she wished she’d had the first time around. \nSabrina will get candid about navigating an acquisition gone sideways\, why she chose to build employee-owned from day one\, and the mindset shifts that carried her through. Whether you’re an aspiring founder\, a small business owner\, or just curious about what it actually takes to build something from scratch\, you’ll walk away with practical insights you can use \nLight snacks provided; beer and kombucha available. Presentation begins at 5:30 PM. \nAbout the Conversation\nIn this fireside-style chat\, Sabrina will dive into: \n\nA candid conversation on resilience\, ownership structures\, and continuous learning\nFirsthand insight into navigating an acquisition — and what she’d do differently\nWhy she chose employee ownership\, and what it’s meant for her team and business\nTime for audience Q&A\nA chance to connect with fellow entrepreneurs\, mentors\, and investors in the room\n\nAbout 20Fathoms\nBased in Traverse City\, 20Fathoms is a nonprofit organization and the hub for entrepreneurship and innovation in Northwest Michigan.
