Last night was “Creating AI Risk Guardrails - Legal, Ethical, & Social Considerations” night! 🤖 📊 We kicked things off with Part 1 of the “Going Live: Building a Financial Model” workshop, led by Alexander McElfish. Entrepreneurs sharpened their financial knowledge — from building pro formas and defining key assumptions to crafting compelling financial roadmaps. 🧠 Then, we dove into an important conversation in tech; AI risk. In the “Creating AI Risk Guardrails – Legal, Ethical & Social Considerations” workshop, Danny Robles and Dr. Timiebi Aganaba guided us through the legal, ethical, and societal complexities of AI adoption. 📸 Throughout the evening, attendees also had the opportunity to get complimentary professional headshots — because showing up professionally starts with your image. Meanwhile, 1:1 Mentor Hours were in full swing: ⚖️ Brian J. Burt, Partner & Chair of the Emerging Business Group at Snell & Wilmer, met with entrepreneurs for personalized legal guidance in 15-minute sessions. 🤝 Maria (Bayer) Gauer, a sales mentor with over $25M in personal sales, gave tailored advice on generating leads, increasing close rates, overcoming mindset blocks, and increasing revenue. 🗓️ Join us next week for: “You Don't Know What You Don't Know: Taxes and Insurance for Startups” night sponsored by @azcommerce! https://www.instagram.com/p/DICRgGvS_e4
