CEO Roundtable *Invite Only*
Many start-up CEOs have shared with us that they are at their breaking point- both for their company, and in some cases for themselves personally. Covid, the funding slowdown, and recently SVB…financially and emotionally, it is an especially hard time running a business.
On May 24 our invite-only CEO roundtable will feature other entrepreneurs and special guests who have reached their breaking point, yet found ways to survive if not also thrive. The intimate and highly interactive nature of the roundtable ensures access to speakers and in-depth conversations with your peers.
The Roundtable will be followed with an Impact Happy Hour that will provide more opportunities for interaction and targeted networking.
Reach out to Renata if you are interested in learning more details or to be considered.
Featured CEO Roundtable guests include:
Sri Artham, Founder, Hooray Foods
Jennifer Barnette, Associate, Cooley, LLP
Erik Edwards, Partner, Cooley, LLP
Rupa Gupta, CoFounder & CEO, Sown to Grow
Colleen Kavanagh, Founder & CEO, Zego

Winter Gathering: Building the Ultimate CEO Survival Guide
While everyone hopes the environment for growing a start-up company will improve, no one really knows what 2023 has in store for us. As a CEO, you owe it to your company ⸺ and yourself-⸺ to have a “survival guide” in place so you can withstand whatever the future may bring.
Join us for our CEO Winter Gathering to get tactical tips for your guide. Get inspired and learn from professionals ⸺ think mountain climbers, ER surgeons, and firefighters ⸺ on how they survive, even thrive, in the harshest of conditions. Find out what CEOs have in their survival guide to ensure your company is well-positioned to manage whatever 2023 has in store for us.
This is an invite-only event. To secure your space, please contact Renata@oneworld.training.

CEO Summit - Cash is King!
We’ve all heard the phrase “cash is king.” Yet, as inflation soars, talk about a global recession continues, and the Russian war on Ukraine persists, this phrase seems to have more meaning than ever. While the macro situation isn’t ideal, it doesn’t need to be all doom and gloom.
Join ONE WORLD for our CEO Summit to learn strategies for not only surviving, but thriving in this challenging environment.
You’ll hear tips, tools, and strategies from both investors and seasoned founders to help you navigate these uncertain times. Topics include:
Milestone changes for upcoming funding rounds;
Increasing your chances of success for raising external capital;
Maximizing cash flow;
Where to cut costs and where to maintain expenditures; and
Knowing when to pivot, when to sell, and when to close.
The day will include opportunities for virtual networking and deeper engagement with panelists and other participants.
