Leslie Osborne played nine professional soccer seasons, captaining every team she was on, and earned caps with the US Women's National Team. In 2023, she cofounded Bay FC, bringing an NWSL franchise to the Bay Area alongside fellow USWNT veterans, and she is also an owner of LOVB San Francisco Signal. She now builds professional women's sports franchises with the same drive she brought to the field.
Founders will learn how to build a brand and fan base from nothing, how to lead as a founder while wearing multiple hats, and how the discipline and teamwork of elite sport translates directly into building a company. Come hear what it takes to build a sports brand from scratch.
The moderator of the fireside chat will be announced at a later date.
Join us in person on Wednesday, September 30, in Downtown San Jose from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Food and drinks will be served. Seats are limited, so book yours now.
A big thank you to Jumpstart for supporting our mission.
Always remember: We believe in making friends, not contacts. We believe in giving first, not taking. We believe in helping others before helping yourself.
