Jackie Nagel, Community Strategist


As the daughter of a small business owner, I had a front-row seat to the difficulty many small business entrepreneurs experienced in finding the right resources at the right price. 

This fueled my passion for providing a platform where entrepreneurs can gather to get questions answered, feel supported, receive encouragement, learn from each other, and not feel so alone in growing their businesses. 

Additionally, I'm the Founder of Synnovatia, a strategic business coaching firm.
