Pitch a Friend heard that Virginia is for Lovers, and is ready to make its Arlington debut at Wilson Hardware on Thursday, October 24th.

A little cute, a little cringey, 100% hilarious, Pitch a Friend is like shark tank, but for your single friends.

RSVP on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pitch-a-friend-wilson-hardware-october-20th-tickets-73898978835**

How does it work? Chosen pitchers will have 3 minutes to present a compelling powerpoint presentation (read: no prezis allowed) on why their single friend is so great and why some lucky person in the crowd should date them.

Then what? The friends being pitched will have 2 minutes to respond to Q&A from the crowd.

Okay, and THEN what? When the pitch is done, it’s time to mingle! Both pitchers and pitchees will receive free drink tickets for themselves or ~a new friend~.

Have a single friend in need of a slide deck? Complete this google form and let us know why your friend is so dateable and why you should pitch them. The key to a great pitch is a great pitcher, so be sure to let your personality shine through. Submissions will be accepted through October 10th.

If you’ve started a business within the last year, you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by the financial aspects. From choosing the right accounting software, to setting up your service agreements, to paying your quarterly tax estimates, there are so many big decisions you make up front that can affect the long-term health of your business. Unless you have a formal business or finance background, handling all the details can be rather intimidating.

Start-Up with Financial Success is just what you need!

This 1-day in-person workshop will cover the basics of financial management for small businesses and give you the tools you need to set up healthy habits from the start.

Unlike other workshops that only focus on one financial discipline, this workshop is led by 5 experts in different aspects of financial management: Business Law, Bookkeeping, Taxes, Accounting and Business Operations.
