10 WEEKS OF TENWEST: WEEK FIVE

You’ve done the work. Built the skills. Put in the years…

And now, whether by choice, chance, or perhaps a well-timed nudge from the universe, you’re standing at the edge of something new.

Welcome to Week 5 (we're halfway there already?!) of our Ten Weeks of TENWEST, this week we're looking at you second-career founders and entrepreneurs. You're turning decades of experience into what's next.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I know my craft but how does entrepreneurship actually work?”

“Can I really start something at this stage?”

“Where do I even begin?”

Or the big one: "Am I too late?"

It may feel daunting to look at the next chapter of your working life and see SO. MUCH. HYPE. about the 20-year-old tech superstar. And good for them --- but here's the reality...

The average age of the founders of high-growth startups is 45. Many female-founded businesses start after age 43. And a 50-year-old founder is 2x as likely to achieve top-tier growth than a 30-year-old.

Why? Because they know better.

You know better. 

You're not too late. You are not alone. And you're exactly who TENWEST is for. 

TENWEST is so much more than a conference, it's a place to help you translate your first career into your second act. Through hands-on workshops, real-world conversations, and people who’ve been there, you’ll learn how to:

• Turn your expertise into a business model

• Navigate consulting, freelancing, or micro-business ownership

• Build confidence in this new chapter (without starting from scratch)

• Connect with others reinventing themselves right alongside you

No startup jargon overload. No “overnight success” myths. Just practical tools, honest stories, and a community that gets it.

Reinvention isn’t starting over. It’s starting smarter. Sounds like the place you need to be? Take your first step towards what's next with us!
