Strategy Sessions

Small startups have to be great at everything from financial management to supply chain management. And their margin for error is tiny. BWP Strategy Sessions help these early-stage entrepreneurs find the specific expertise they need. You tell us your hurdles, and we customize a panel of seasoned managers, investors, and industry experts to help you address those challenges. This is part of how we meet our mission to grow Boston’s economy.

“The room was filled venture capitalists, successful entrepreneurs, consultants and business people. The line of questions was spot on – and it didn’t end there. Half of the people followed up with me for no other reason than just to help. From people offering consulting advice and expertise to someone offering to act an angel investor, it’s pretty unparalleled from anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

BWP created Strategy Sessions to leverage the human intelligence of our network in ways that help startups launch and grow – and contribute to the local economy. Strategy Sessions are managed by a team of Connectors, who review and select from the pool of applicants. Strategy Sessions are sponsored by Fresh Tilled Soil. They design and develop web applications and content-managed sites, and they help entrepreneurs grow their businesses through search and social media marketing.
