Every business has an ending—so why not build with that in mind from the start? Whether your dream is to sell someday, pass the business on to employees, or simply have the freedom to step back, the choices you make now shape what’s possible later.
For many founders, succession planning feels distant or irrelevant—until suddenly it isn’t. Building a business with the end in mind means putting systems and strategies in place today that give you options tomorrow. It’s about designing for freedom, resilience, and legacy from the very beginning.
We’re diving in deep this month with 3 local entrepreneurs and experts, here to share their perspectives on building businesses that outlast the founder. Expect candid stories of planning for succession, creating transferable value, and building systems that run without you.
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of why thinking about the “end game” now matters—no matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey.
Come ready to listen, learn, and find new inspiration. Leave your ego at the door, and engage in authentic conversations from peers who are in the trenches and 'doing the thing,' battle scars and all.
Informal conversation and networking begins at 11:30am. Lightning Talks begin at 12pm and end promptly at 1pm. BYO lunch!
Join us on December 3, 11:30am at Vibe Coworks in Poulsbo.
