Hey everyone👋 The location of the Startup Mountain Summit, Johnson City, TN, was spared from the storm and the Startup Mountain Summit will still be taking place as planned. The venue, hotels, and other networking opportunities are still in place. We are monitoring the weather closely for our Adventure Networking experiences but nothing in our schedule has changed. However, if you are like us, you feel motivated to help the surrounding communities and the businesses that were lost in this storm. We are currently working on gathering information and ways to help that we will share at the Summit. We will also share this information online through our social media. If you have any questions or can’t make it due to impacts from Helene, please reach out to us via DM or email. You can find more information on our website! https://lnkd.in/g72WC_wy

Got a side-hustle or business you want to take to the next level? Time is often the biggest hurdle for side-hustlers. We’re all balancing work and life, which can make it hard to dedicate more hours to our passions. But here’s a thought: if you could carve out just 10 extra hours a week for your side-hustle, what kind of growth could you see? Now, take it a step further—imagine devoting all your time and energy to it. How different would your life be? At the Startup Mountain Summit, we’re focusing in on side-hustlers and helping them scale. We’re also bringing in speakers like Steve Carse, who flipped his popsicle side-hustle into a $10 Million dollar business!

The Startup Mountain Summit was designed for our entire startup ecosystem--that includes current founders, past founders, investors, business owners, ecosystem builders, side-hustlers, inventors, supporters, and those of you who may be interested in launching your own business soon🤝 That means: You don't have to have a successful business. You don't have to have all the details ironed out. You don't need a cool, tech-related name picked out for your company. #startupmtnsummit #foundersforge #community #startup #johnsoncitytn
