How do you turn a happy hour into a launchpad for the next big thing? Our recent Finding Funding Happy Hour events asked just that. We brought together a highly curated, intimate group of founders, superconnectors, and investors for an evening of meaningful connections and insights on community-driven capital raising. Dallas saw my business partner Devin Ambron team up with Pete Stubbs from DealMaker, while I hosted the Austin event alongside Pete. Here's what made these events special... 👥 Carefully curated attendee list (no service providers) 🍹 Open happy hour for relaxed networking 🧊 Icebreakers to kickstart conversations (not forced & where needed) 💡 Discussions on leveraging community for fundraising A huge thank you to the DealMaker team for sponsoring these events and to all the brilliant minds who joined us. These evenings aren't just about networking - they're about building a community of innovators who support and elevate each other. If you're a founder, investor, or connector looking to expand your network and knowledge, send me a DM or comment "FINDING FUNDING" and I'll put you on the list for our next gathering ✌️

Here’s what you don’t see from just the photos or the digital recaps of “Founder Fridays”. I should know because I read about them for the last two years before finally going to see Fernanda Böhme last week. 👀 A soloprenuer taking notes on measuring success in years, not months. A gal networking to raise money for a startup. Another gal in a marketing role at current job wondering how to give her best self. A dude, paying his way through college running a tshirt business with roommate. Various business pros that lead small and large brands. If you’re not there, you don’t see or experience these things. Founder Friday brings together ambition and capability. Not just in terms of the celebrity speakers. In terms of the audience too. One of the last things you don’t see… the sponsors who make it happen. Thanks to BONCO and Kiln for this round. They’re silently but not subtlety enabling business to happen in these crowds. I’m anxious to bring on more strategic partners for this monthly event series. If you’re interested in seeing, enabling, benefiting from the magic that is Founder Fridays, lets talk.

Creating community for 50+ WOC creative entrepreneurs 🫡 2 weeks ago we hosted a speed mixer for 50 WOC creatives, founders and community leaders, who all showed up mostly on their own, with a single intention: to meet their next potential business bestie! 🤠 at BOW we love gameification at our events - we had attendees play Human Bingo, we gave them cards with 9 prompts like ‘find someone who just had a biz win!’ & ‘find someone whose is burnt out as you!’ 🗣️ the challenge was, you couldn’t ask someone directly, you had to say ‘soooo how are you REALLY feeling’, instesd or ‘so are you burnt out? 💫 we gave away prizes to the first 5 winners, ranging from free Babes On Waves memberships, to business consultancy and headshot packages. Want Babes on Waves to design an event that brings your community together in a way where genuine connections and real conversations are formed? Hit us up!!
