Wealth Management for Founders Panel Features Pocketnest

Michigan Founders Fund features Jessica Willis in panel sharing financial tips for startup founders

The Michigan Founders Fund invited Jessica Willis, Pocketnest founder and CEO, to participate in its panel focused on helping founders navigate their finances while building their startups. Willis busts common myths that misguide founders' financial wellness, like "be ready to get a second mortgage on your house to be able to see your dream come to a reality."

About the Wealth Management for Founders Panel

Sure, building a successful business is the goal, but certainly not at the expense of your wealth! This panel dives into the basics of building long-term financial success for both founders and their startups.

The goal? To empower Michigan’s startup founders and teach them how to build good financial habits and protect their personal wealth as they build their businesses. Experienced startup founders share personal stories and real-world advice about Qualified Small Business Stock, secondaries, trusts, and many other complex situations founders often face (like dealing with upside-down cap tables).
