Business Blend - Heart and Hustle: Managing Co-Founder Challenges

​As Valentine's Day approaches, we invite you to our first Business Blend of 2025: "Heart and Hustle: Managing Co-Founder Challenges", focusing on a theme that's as relevant to entrepreneurs as it is to romance.

​Founders often encounter a myriad of challenges that often challenge their partnerships. As ventures grow, differences in vision and strategy can emerge, leading to disagreements on the direction of the business. The pressures of securing funding and differences of opinions can further complicate relationships, sometimes resulting in difficult decisions about leadership roles.

​Join this interactive discussion led by Chris Russell and Meaghan Nelson, Partners at Stoel Rives who both maintain extensive experience in guiding emerging companies across multiple verticals and sizes. They will delve into some of the complexities and challenges that co-founders face throughout their startup journey, from ownership of ideas to factors to consider if there's a potential for parting ways. Whether you're part of a high-growth tech startup or a Main Street business, understanding how to navigate these dynamics is crucial to long-term personal and professional success.

​This event is free to the public, but RSVPs are required to secure your spot.
