About this Event
You’re invited to EO Seattle’s signature event of the year. Spend an afternoon with some of Seattle’s most driven entrepreneurs. Hear a bestselling author explain how great companies scale. See firsthand the community that makes EO different.
The right room changes how you grow. This not-to-be-missed event puts you alongside leading Seattle founders who know the weight of building a company, and who openly share what’s working and what isn’t. It’s also your chance to see EO Seattle Membership and our Accelerator program up close. Because scaling your business starts with scaling yourself.
Stop chasing growth. Start engineering scale.
Growth adds. Scale multiplies. Most businesses don’t stall from a lack of effort or opportunity. They stall because the founder says yes to everything, the model runs on more hours, and every new dollar costs as much to earn as the last one. Working harder won’t fix that.
Blake Erickson knows the difference. He helped grow a door-to-door sales organization into an eight-figure business and earned his first million by age 24. Then he co-wrote the New York Times bestseller The Science of Scaling with Dr. Benjamin Hardy. In this keynote and live Q&A, he lays out the path from effort-driven growth to systems that scale. You’ll leave able to:
- Set an impossible goal that exposes exactly what has to change in your business
- Say no to good opportunities so you can go all in on the few drivers that matter
- Build a simple model that produces exponential results instead of linear ones
- Shape a team and culture that scale without you in the middle of every decision
Two receptions, built just for you. Before the keynote, join us for our VIP reception just for prospective members and accelerators. Meet our board members and membership team, connect with other curious entrepreneurs, and learn more about our programs. After the keynote, meet even more EO members and hear what the chapter has meant for them and their companies. EO Seattle is where owners of $1M+ businesses work through decisions like these with trusted peers in Forum, and founders approaching grossing $250K - $1M do the same through EO Accelerator.
