SUMMARY:Tech + Tequila Talk: Turning Your Tech Startup into Healthy Traction
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://luma.com/cefei1dc \n​You have the vision. Maybe even an MVP and some early wins. But somewhere between the excitement of a great idea and real\, repeatable traction\, things start to get messy. Teams become misaligned\, operations get chaotic\, and founders begin to burn out. \n​In this candid talk\, serial founder\, operator\, angel investor\, and EOS Implementer Craig Ceccanti shares what really happens after launch day—from the thrill of early validation to the challenges of scaling. Drawing from experience building and growing multiple startups\, Craig unpacks what it takes to move from constant hustle to healthy growth. \n​That includes crystal clear vision\, laser focus\, relentless accountability\, smarter processes\, and building a team that can run together with purpose. \n​If you are a founder feeling stuck\, growing in all the wrong directions\, or just trying to turn your startup into something sustainable\, this talk offers practical tools\, honest insights\, and a good old-fashioned chest bump to get you fired up to slay your dragon!
