Heads up! Our June Monthly Networking Meeting that was originally scheduled for tomorrow, 6/17, has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.

Instead of trying to squeeze in a make-up date, we’ve decided to take a mid-year break and use this as an opportunity to hear from all of YOU! We want to know what the community wants to hear from NEO Fund in the second half of the year and we’d love your input!

Click the link to take the short survey: {link}

It won’t take long and your feedback will help us shape programming, topics, and conversations that are most relevant and meaningful to you.

Thank you for being part of our NEO Fund community and we will see you all again in July!

How do you know if you’re charging enough?

In Episode 1 of Pricing for Profit, business owner Briquettes Smokehouse Nate Rockwell breaks down one of the most important foundations of running a successful business: understanding your true costs before setting your prices.

Too many business owners rely on guesswork, competitor pricing, or instinct. Nate explains why that approach can leave money on the table and how a simple understanding of materials, labor, and overhead can change the way you think about profit.

This is just the beginning.

Over the next 8 episodes, we'll explore the real-world strategies behind pricing, profit margins, customer value, common pricing mistakes, and the decisions that can help businesses become more sustainable and profitable.

Whether you're launching a startup, running a small business, or looking to improve your bottom line, this series is packed with practical advice you can put to work immediately.

Pricing for Profit is a new educational series from NEO Fund featuring business advisor Nate Rockwell.
