Make Things Happen

One of the reasons we like working with entrepreneurs is that they inspire us to make things happen.  They don't just recognize opportunities; they pursue them.  They don't just come up with ideas; they execute them.  It energizes us to do the same thing.

About our Newsletter

We decided to launch a weekly newsletter with the simple goal of cultivating community.  Our newsletter covers (1) content relating to the startup industry that we liked from the previous week, giving you something to read, listen to, and watch; (2) content we created during the previous week, keeping you up to date on news and insight from our team; and (3) events and activities we plan to host or attend in the upcoming week, providing our community of clients, partners, and friends an opportunity to share, support, and connect with each other.

Cheers,
Scannavino Law
