April CORE Business Mixer

Calling local leaders, managers, and professionals in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors!

Join Ann Theis, Synthia Laura Molina, and other subject matter experts (SMEs) for the April CORE Business Mixer—and participate in another informative, hands-on, and interactive event that will arm you with the kind of thinking, techniques, and tools that can help you take your performance, outcomes, and impacts to the next level.

On April 29th at 6 p.m., take advantage of a fun, come-as-you-are gathering to (1) connect with other like-minded, progress-focused folks in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado; (2) learn how to create stress-free market and financial forecasts for your side hustle, startup, or existing enterprise—even if math isn’t your thing; and (3) gain a deep understanding of how market forecasts, cash flow statements, income statements, balance sheets, and financial ratios can help you secure ideal customers and superior financial results with far less effort.

Evening Highlights

• Expand your professional network to help you source, spend, and secure the maximum return on investment (ROI) from money.
  • Line up investors, bankers, and strategic allies long before you need them.
• Learn how to quickly calculate your organization’s market size, market potential, and market penetration so you can create an enterprise that matches your market opportunity.
  • Master the new language of market research and market forecasting—and easily calculate your Total Addressable Market (TAM), Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM), and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM). Consider when pie-in-the-sky figures can be helpful to you—and determine what kind of customer base is realistic with and without outside investment.
• Get comfortable with financial-performance-tracking tools like cash flow statements, income statements, and balance sheets—and master essential financial concepts like revenue; cost of goods sold (COGS); gross profit; selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A); operating profit; and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
  • Learn how the money you generate or burn through on a month-to-month basis feeds or starves your enterprise; gain practice in spotting financial opportunities and threats; and improve your cash flow, profitability, and enterprise valuation.

What’s In It For You?

This empowering evening takes the fear and complexity out of the financial management of public, private, and nonprofit enterprises—so you can make critical decisions and grow your enterprise with heightened confidence and success.

While no RSVP is required, we invite you to email ann@bettercity.us to share whether you hope to attend…just so we can design the best after-hours networking and learning environment possible! Come prepared to explore, connect, and grow…and enjoy yet another CORE event. We look forward to seeing you at the Colfax Ale Cellar on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 6 p.m. MDT.
