This month, we’ll be exploring a problem that all business owners encounter as they scale: how do you build a business that creates value without continuous founder involvement?

October’s talk will be delivered by Siem Velstra, the current Director and Founder of Co-Advisor, who’ll be discussing his upcoming book, Engineered to Be Free.

In this talk, Siem will break down a framework for building businesses that can succeed without constant founder involvement, and he’ll explore how to:

• Spot the structural problems that business growth can expose
• Understand why effective delegation is critical to scalable growth
• Build a business that creates value without depending on you

And, as always, this won’t be a sit-and-listen session. Siem will be asking questions and opening up the conversation, giving you the chance to think through what these ideas could mean for your own growing industrial business.

If you’re building a business that needs to grow beyond you, this is a conversation worth being part of.
