Free lunch-and-learn session with industry experts on freelancing, partnerships and business vision for start-up founders.
Sparkhouse is hosting Lunch and Learn: Building Support on Wednesday 14 April, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. It's part of a new cohort of Lunch and Learn meetings run by Sparkhouse, the incubation centre of Student Enterprise at the University of Lincoln. The format is straightforward: they bring in industry experts so that start-up founders can learn, network and grow their business while they eat. It's a lunchtime slot, so it fits into the working day rather than taking up an evening.
The theme for this one is 'Building Support', and it brings together three specialists to cover three distinct areas of growing a business. The first looks at the hiring dilemma: when to work with freelancers, when to collaborate, and when it's finally time to hire properly. The second focuses on strategic partnerships—how to build them and make them work. The third is about communication: how to get your vision across clearly. Between them, they cover a good chunk of the ground a founder has to navigate as they move from a one-person operation to something larger.
It's aimed at start-up founders, so it's a good spot if you're in the early stages of a business and trying to figure out how to scale without burning out. The networking side is as much a part of it as the talk, and since it's a lunchtime thing, you'll be around other people in the same boat. The session runs for an hour, so it's a focused window rather than a whole day.
