Navigating your small business in economic uncertainty

Founders Table is an Amazon Small Business Academy live event series for early-stage small business owners to learn from experts and peers while building a sense of community. Within each event in the series, we’ll explore a different topic from the unique perspectives of a celebrated business expert, a small business owner, and entrepreneurs like you through fireside chats, live spotlight case studies, expert AMAs (Ask Me Anything), and topic-driven networking sessions. Here at Founders Table, everyone has a seat.  

‍At our free 2-hour event on 2/9, you’ll hear from our guest Sarah Friar, CEO of Nextdoor and Co-founder of Ladies Who Launch, as we explore inspiring stories about resilience and weathering economic storms. You’ll learn practical tips that will help you grow your business as we delve into our topic: “Navigating your Small Business in Economic Uncertainty". In our fireside chat with Sarah, we’ll shine a light on the challenges and unique issues of starting a business in 2023 and what it takes to make the most of an economic downturn. You’ll also get a chance to ask Sarah your questions during our expert Ask Me Anything, and view a small business spotlight case study, featuring Nana Joes Granola and its founder Michelle Pusateri, for recession-savvy tools and creative techniques that will help set you on the path to success. Finally, in our networking sessions, you’ll meet some talented, passionate early-stage entrepreneurs and founders just like you.
