Founders & Freelancers, In Person
Building something on your own comes with a lot of decisions.
Some are exciting. Some sit in your head for weeks because you’re not sure who to ask.
Founders & Freelancers is a monthly gathering for women running businesses, freelancing, consulting, creating, or building something of their own. Hosted this month by Hailey Baitinger, the conversation is shaped around what the women in the room actually need.
No two sessions are exactly the same.
You might come in thinking through a decision, trying to solve a problem, looking for perspective, or simply wanting to spend time around women who understand what it takes to build something.
You do not need to arrive with everything figured out.
Bring what you’re working on. Bring the question that keeps coming back. Bring the thing that might get clearer once you say it out loud in the right room.
You may leave with a new perspective, a useful resource, a stronger question, or a connection worth continuing.
That is what proximity can do.

About The Lola
The Lola is a growth ecosystem in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward.
We believe proximity creates power.
Being in the room with women who are building, leading, pivoting, and investing in each other changes what's possible.
Founders & Freelancers is one of the places where those conversations happen. Come with what you're working through and see what the room gives back.
