More than 100 people gathered on the 33rd floor of Bank of America Tower to hear from local small business owners for an Axios Charlotte event.
Why it matters: We're in your inbox every morning, but you can't replicate an in-person connection.
We heard from:
🎂 Manolo's Bakery founder Manolo Betancur
🍽 Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group co-founder Jamie Brown
💰 Bank of America business banking executive Carolina Ko
🤝 We also connected with many of you who also own small businesses.
What's next: Dive into Charlotte's real estate market with us Thursday, June 5, at Room Service Camp North End. Your first drink is on our friends at True Homes. The fun starts at 5:30pm.
Here's a look at the night in photos.
