WAKE x Deloitte Community Drop-In — September (Theme: Money)

​We’re kicking off the first-ever WAKE Collective x Deloitte Community Drop-In — a monthly morning hangout designed for our community to connect, swap ideas, and get real, practical advice.

​Each month, we’ll dive into a different theme.
And what better place to start than with Money — finances & funding.

​What to Expect:

• ​2 experts available for 15-minute office hour sessions (sign up when you arrive, limited spots - first come first serve)

• ​Casual networking and light co-working with the WAKE community

• ​Coffee and conversation in a relaxed space

​Schedule:

• ​9:30 – 9:45 AM → Arrival & Welcome, Expert Intros

• ​9:45 – 11:15 AM → Networking, co-working, and expert office hours

• ​11:15 – 11:30 AM → Wrap-up & Community Announcements

​The Experts:

• ​Zahra Baghdadi — Fractional CFO & Founder, Crunch TimeZ CFO Services Inc.
  Zahra is all about helping founders feel in control of their numbers. From cash flow to funding strategies, she makes finance less intimidating and more actionable. She also hosts The CFO Edge podcast, where she breaks down money moves for entrepreneurs.

• ​Aliya Amershi - Deloitte Gi3 Team — Global Investment & Innovation Incentives
  Curious about SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development credits) and how they might benefit your business? A Deloitte expert will be on hand to walk you through what you need to know.

​This event is casual, practical, and a chance to connect with people who get what it’s like to build something.

Registration required.

​WAKE events are built by and for women founders. Male allies are always welcome to support and be part of the conversation, but with limited spots, we’re prioritizing registration for women founders first.

​A huge thank-you to Deloitte for generously making the space (literally!) for WAKE.
