๐ Epicenter Memphis Presents: The Algorithm | Featuring Stuart Lott ๐ผ
Running a business shouldnโt mean losing sleep over spreadsheets.
Thatโs the problem @stuartplott , founder of @joinbackbone , set out to solve. His platform gives microbusinesses (those with 1โ5 employees) the tools they need to manage finances, streamline operations, and actually focus on growingโnot just surviving.
Built in Memphis for the microbusiness community, Backbone is designed to be a financial command center for entrepreneurs who wear all the hats.
Through Epicenter, Stuart refined his platform, accessed vital mentorship, and became one of the inaugural 901 Entrepreneurs Fellows, receiving the support needed to focus full-time on growth.
๐ฅ See how Stuart cracked The Algorithm to empower small businesses. ๐ Watch now on Youtube at the link in bio!
