The initial stages of the life of a business present novel and exciting challenges. While emotion, energy and great aspirations are the mark of a startup, financing, infrastructure and a grounded marketing plan are the fuel which propel a business forward.

Whether dealing with starry-eyed first time entrepreneurs or established professionals starting their own businesses, many of the principal concerns remain the same: (i) raising capital; (ii) finance and accounting; (iii) human resources; and (iv) developing and executing a marketing plan. As the market’s taste for startups continues to grow, opportunities to participate, advise and facilitate their growth are plentiful.

Join some of the leading experts in this unique and growing field as they discuss in plain English for the non-expert- the basics and the fundamentals of advising a startup.

As with all Financial Poise™ webinars, each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, and listeners will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all of the programs.

Human resources is charged with running the company’s internal functions, including—recruitment, safety, employee relations, compensation and benefits, compliance and training and development.
