The Lounge @ The Yard
One thing many people have said about starting a business or going out on your own as a freelancer is that you don’t know what you don’t know. Health insurance? Burning out? Working in a male-dominated industry? People with great ideas are not necessarily considering these obstacles.
A talk tonight at the coworking space The Yard (33 Nassau Ave.) will feature three startup experts on what small business owners should expect, but aren’t. Â Food, drinks, & mingling start at 6PM. Â Panel discussion from 7-9 PM.

Dana Spiegel is the Founder and Chief Code Therapist, FounderTherapy. Â He’s a Product and Software Engineering expert who helps early stage startups get off the ground. Â He also occasionally teaches classes on how to build web applications (most recently through Hatchery), and is an advisor to a number of startups, including ClearServe and WorkMarket.
