StartupExperts Consultant Circle — April 28th, Tuesday at 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PT.
Consultant Circle is a relaxed, small-group (or breakout group) gathering for StartupExperts consultants and fractionals to actually get to know each other beyond Slack profiles and titles. No panels. No pitching. Just thoughtful conversation with people you’ll likely collaborate with, refer to, or lean on in the future. Come curious, candid, and ready to connect!

Stronger Together: Building Collaboration Through Volunteerism — April 28th, Tuesday at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PT. Register here.
Celebrate National Volunteer Month with a dynamic one-hour webinar exploring how shared purpose can transform the way teams collaborate. Discover how volunteering together builds trust, strengthens communication, and fosters a deeper sense of connection across your organization.
You’ll gain practical ideas and real-world examples to help you turn volunteer initiatives into powerful team-building experiences that drive engagement and impact!
Buy, Build, or Partner: Making Smart AI Investment Decisions — April 29th, Wednesday at 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PT. Register here.
Most organizations aren't short on AI options. They're short on a clear way to evaluate them. So they default to what's visible: a tool a competitor is using, a vendor with a compelling demo, or a scrappy internal build no one has time to maintain. The result: investments that don't match the problem and AI use-cases that languish in purgatory.
This session works through a real case study together to bring the framework to life. You'll see how the variables—speed, cost, control, and capability—actually play out in a real organizational context and leave with language you can use to make and justify these decisions.
This session is provided at no charge by StartupExperts and Clarinet.
StartupExperts Go-Giver Book Club Session — April 29th, Wednesday at 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PT.
Join us for the StartupExperts Go-Giver Book Club Session, where we’ll come together as a community to reflect on one of the most impactful leadership books in our onboarding journey. The Go-Giver offers timeless lessons on generosity, connection, and creating value for others — themes that resonate deeply with the spirit of StartupExperts.
Whether you’re reading The Go-Giver for the first time or returning to it with fresh eyes, you’ll walk away with practical ideas and a stronger sense of connection to the StartupExperts community.
