The Contractor Centric Entrepreneurial Future with Bryan Petro prior CEO of GetMyBoat and co-founder OpenSpindle
Smart people disagree wildly on how AI will change work. One thing that Bryan Petro and I agree on - fractional contractor services will dominate the future.
Bryan was CEO of GetMyBoat, which used contractors rather than employees for 10 years, all the way to its acquisition. He's now co-founded OpenSpindle, a manufacturing-focused supply chain startup, bootstrapped and without venture funding.
Join this lunch and learn to get tactical on:
Why the contractor-first choice made financial sense at 0→1
Controlling costs and reaching profitability with (and without) VC
Why Bryan moved into manufacturing and supply chain
How a contractor mindset turns each of us into either an entrepreneur riding the wave of opportunity or a commodity subject to global market pressure
As always, we run a tight, intellectually dense lunch and learn with hosted locally catered foods, a great crowd of founders/operators and of course, lots of coffee.
11:15 Doors open, coffee/food
11:45 Speaker Talk, crowd participation encouraged
12:45 More Coffee and conversation
1:00 we're done!
Cheers,
John Davison!
