Pirate captains perpetually seek out the brightest talent, the most loyal crew, and the latest tech, all so they might have a better chance of surviving - nay, WINNING their next contact with the long-established forces around them. Occasionally, they get a chance to poach an expert First Mate, disillusioned by life under another flag and capable of contributing so much more. Founders often find themselves navigating analogous waters, and often with the same revenue constraints. If you could recruit, retain, and reward the key people you need to succeed on a shoestring budget, would that improve your trajectory? If you could help reduce turnover in your core staff and perhaps improve investor confidence, would that make your life and growth easier? In a startup world largely void of early employee benefits, would even a basic, low-cost package help steal away the talent you need to succeed? This workshop educates Arizona's founders and investors about a variety of options currently available to help them better care for their own families, their partners, their key people, and the staff pushing hard for them every day. Join us for Breakfast Bites & Big Ideas session from Spinnaker Health, hosted by Tech Launch Arizona at their Refinery Campus. 20 folks can join us live for a light breakfast, and the next 1,000 can join via a simulcast video link. AGENDA: 9 - 9:15am PT Arrival and Networking 9:15 - 10am Simulcast presentation with Q&A ABOUT US *Spinnaker Health* Most company leaders seek refuge at the first dark cloud. At Spinnaker Health, we see a correlation between adversity and opportunity. For those interested in leading from the front, we advocate a grittier response: Adjust. Your. Sails. Spinnaker Health exists solely to serve business owners and their employees, and we specialize in custom group benefits packages for tight ships and tighter budgets. Too many businesses don't have access to meaningful, affordable benefits, and too few families in our communities enjoy the peace of mind that comes with quality coverage. Our team wakes up each morning to change that, one employer at a time. If you're ready to do something meaningful for your business and your people, we humbly stand ready to go to work.
