A monthly reset for new founders who want structure, clarity, and a plan that works.
The Last Sunday Startup Series is a sixty-minute business class held on the final Sunday of each month. It gives new entrepreneurs a fresh start for the month ahead by teaching the core steps required to launch or grow a real business. This experience is designed for beginners, side hustlers, and women of color building without funding or connections, and it delivers practical instruction you can use immediately.
This is not inspiration. It is direction.
