For all of the popularity of pitch decks, business plans still serve an important function for entrepreneurs who are building a business. A study of more than 1,000 US entrepreneurs found that those with a business plan were more successful than those without.
After spending close to two decades building businesses with the banking industry, Cate Luzio founded Luminary. She wrote a business plan in a week and launched 8 months later. Cate will be hosting our first Business Plan Boot Camp, breaking down each point and the basis for eight essential elements founders should include in a business plan, and why they matter. This workshop will hold no more than 15 people. Light refreshments will be served.
Cate Luzio is the Founder and CEO of Luminary, the premier collaboration hub for women who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. A long-time advocate for empowering women and girls, Cate serves on the National Board for Girls Inc.

Previously, she was the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Multinational Corporate Banking for HSBC managing roughly $2 billion in revenue and teams in 72 countries.
