Founders' Mindset: Lean, Yet Mighty 🎉

Join us for the second installment of our Founders' Mindset series! This session is designed for founders and operators scaling consumer products without the burden of a large team.

📅 Event Details

April will be introducing the room, kicking off our exploration into effective strategies and practices. Bring your laptops for a hands-on experience!

👥 Who Should Attend?

This event is perfect for those
making intentional choices about their investments of time, money, and energy across retail, marketing, and beyond. Whether you're still figuring out your commitments or challenging what’s not working, this room is the ideal space for you.

📊 What We’ll Cover

• Growth strategies in retail and operations
• Implementing AI in operational and marketing processes
• Critical decision-making for lean teams

Featured Speakers: Operators who have successfully scaled brands, a former buyer with insights on shelf decisions, and practitioners who are actively using AI as a part of their operations.

🔧 Hands-On Activities

• Vote on whether certain brands deserve to remain on the shelf, with input from a former buyer.
• Watch a retail planning tool in action, showcasing P&L scenarios for various store counts (500, 2,000, and 10,000 doors).
• Activate a 30-day trial of that tool with the operator present.
• Engage in a hands-on AI exercise focused on content, growth, and operations.

💡 The Harder Question

After lunch, we will tackle a challenging conversation: What are you keeping that you know isn't working? This will be done in small groups, allowing for deeper discussions.

We'll conclude with a commitment: One actionable change you will implement next week!
