SUMMARY:Lessons in Bootstrapping to Profitability ft. Plei's Sebastian Duque (Sportstech Startup)
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, thousands of founders raise venture capital to fuel growth\, but some of the most impressive companies out there never took a single check… \nOn Thursday\, September 17\, we’re sitting down with a founder who built a profitable\, multi-million dollar business entirely on his own terms. \nJoining us on stage: \nSebastian Duque\, Founder and CEO of Plei\, Inc\, the largest pickup soccer platform in North America. Built out of Miami\, Plei now connects over 600\,000 players across multiple cities\, using technology and data to make playing soccer seamless and accessible. Under his leadership\, the company has grown to millions in annual revenue and is expanding internationally\, with a long-term vision of becoming the global ecosystem of soccer. \nHe’ll break down: \n What it actually takes to grow a company to millions in revenue without venture capital\n How he built Plei’s community first\, and let that community drive the platform’s growth\n The harder\, less visible side of the founder journey… staying resilient through the grind\, told through the real story of how Plei got here

SUMMARY:Fort Lauderdale Tech Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Culture and Leadership for Startups: How the Best Founders Build Companies People Fight to Join \n Tuesday\, June 9\n 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM\n Levan Center of Innovation at NSU \n\n\nThe Fort Lauderdale Tech Meetup is a place for startup founders\, investors and people building in tech. ​​We believe Fort Lauderdale should be an incredible place to build a company—and that starts with creating a solid community. You can expect no egos\, just genuine connection. If you’re building something great\, or want to support those who are — join us. \nThe Agenda:\n6:00 PM Networking + light refreshments\n7:00 PM Fireside Chat + Q&A\n8:00 PM Networking\n9:00 PM Event Ends \n🎙️ More about the Fireside Chat \n“Culture and Leadership for Startups: How the Best Founders Build Companies People Fight to Join” \nDavid Bitton\, Co-Founder at DoorLoop ($130M raised)\nJeremy Schwach\, Founder at Hummingbird Healthcare ($40M raised) \n​Building a great product is hard. Building a great company is harder. The leap from scrappy founder to scalable CEO isn’t just operational — it’s personal. It requires you to rewire how you lead\, how you hire\, and how you build a culture that performs without you in every room. Most founders underestimate it. The best ones talk about it openly. Together\, they’ll break down the leadership and culture shift that separates founders who scale from founders who stall.
