SUMMARY:THE BUILD - 100BMBA X Circularity X COMTO
DESCRIPTION:The Build is a full day of real talk\, real resources\, and real community — designed to equip Black business owners\, entrepreneurs\, and professionals with the tools\, capital knowledge\, and connections needed to level up and build lasting economic power in the Bay Area. From keynotes to workshops\, panels to networking\, every moment of this day is intentional; built around the belief that when Black businesses grow\, the whole community rises. This is not just an event – it is the community’s response to a state of emergency\, and you belong in the room. \nBuild Beyond You challenges every business owner in the room to think beyond the day-to-day grind and start building with the end in mind — a business structured for longevity\, a financial foundation designed for transfer\, and a legacy that serves the generation behind them. Walk away with a blueprint for generational wealth that goes far beyond what most business owners have ever been taught. Dr. Joaquin Wallace is a nationally recognized behavioral finance strategist and generational wealth expert who has spent more than two decades helping individuals and organizations build lasting economic opportunity. \nBuild the Bag is a capital access panel designed to give every business owner in this room the honest answers they have never been able to get in a bank lobby — four institutions\, four perspectives\, and one real conversation about what it actually takes to access\, build\, and sustain capital as a Black business owner in today’s market. Walk away knowing exactly where to go\, what to have in place\, and how to build the financial foundation your business deserves. \nBuild the Business is a series of five targeted workshops designed to equip every attendee with the practical tools\, strategies\, and knowledge needed to compete\, grow\, and sustain a thriving business in today’s market. Each session addresses a critical pillar of business health — from the mental and emotional foundation that makes building sustainable\, to the strategic planning\, marketing\, AI tools\, and government contracting knowledge that separates businesses that survive from businesses that scale. Walk away from every session with something you can implement before the week is out. \nBuild You is the segment that gets to the root of everything — because before you can build a business worth sustaining\, you have to build the person running it. These sessions go deep on the identity work\, the bold moves\, and the legacy thinking that separate entrepreneurs who drift from the ones who lead with intention and leave something behind worth inheriting. Come ready to own what sets you apart\, silence what has been holding you back\, and start building the version of yourself that your business has been waiting for. \nBuild Your Network is two hours of intentional connection with people who understand the grind\, share the vision\, and are building in the same direction. Come with your elevator pitch sharp and your business cards ready — the person next to you could be your next client\, collaborator\, or champion. Make a friend. Stack a referral. Leave with relationships that mean something. \nSponsoring The Build puts your brand in front of 150 Black business owners\, entrepreneurs\, and professionals who are actively investing in their growth — a community that buys intentionally\, refers generously\, and remembers who showed up for them. This is your opportunity to align your brand with one of the most impactful days in Bay Area Black business and be part of something the community will be talking about long after September 11th. CLICK HERE to explore sponsorship options and secure your spot. \nREGISTER HERE:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-build-tickets-1998859709198?aff=oddtdtcreator
