Emerging Entrepreneurs & Mentors Committee Meeting

Find your voice and pitch with confidence.

Join us for Public Speaking Musts for Entrepreneurs, hosted by the Emerging Entrepreneurs & Mentors Committee, a collaborative space created to support LGBTQ+ founders in building and growing sustainable businesses.

This session will be led by Richard, Founder of Blend Studious, a strategist and Registered Architect with experience at EY-Parthenon and Gensler. He brings a unique blend of financial insight and design thinking, using persuasive communication to turn complex ideas into clear, actionable narratives.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Craft and refine your elevator pitch
• Translate technical expertise into a compelling story
• Secure leads and strengthen follow-ups
• Engage in a live Q&A

More than just a meeting, this committee offers a supportive and inclusive space where entrepreneurs can connect, share experiences, and gain practical insights. Each monthly session includes founder check-ins, focused discussions, and peer-to-peer support designed to help you move forward with confidence.

Whether you're just starting out or growing your business, you’re invited to join the conversation.
