Rookie Investor Panel – Real Stories, Real Lessons
Every expert started as a rookie—and this panel proves it! Join us as local investors share their real-life journeys, from their very first deals to the lessons they’ll never forget.
Whether you’re brand new or looking for fresh inspiration, you’ll walk away with:
✨ Honest insights on wins AND mistakes
✨ Strategies that worked (and a few that didn’t)
✨ Motivation to keep pushing through the challenges
This is your chance to learn from people who were in your shoes not long ago. No fluff, no theory—just real stories from real investors.
Don’t miss this one—come ready with your questions and leave with practical takeaways you can use right away!
