Women in Business Night at Tech Alley Henderson | Wildhorse Golf Club | Hello Henderson

Tech Alley Henderson moved to a new home, and Hello Henderson came with it. This episode was recorded live at Wildhorse Golf Club in Henderson on a night celebrating women in business and the founders building across the Las Vegas Valley. Guest co-host Earl Mann, a tech entrepreneur for nearly 30 years and a LaunchLab Module One instructor, joins Hoz Roushdi. Earl explains why LaunchLab works: the instructors are player coaches. They teach what they are doing this week, not what they did ten years ago. His math: 20% of what founders need comes from school, and 80% is learned in motion. Learning from people already doing the work saves founders time, and time is money. Lorraine Yarde, Chair of Innovation Henderson, gives the State of the Alley. She covers the new venue, LaunchLab Cohort One finishing Module Four, and why AI makes it easier to ship a product but no easier to skip the fundamentals. Monica Coburn of Nevada Business Advisors explains what happens when founders try to figure everything out alone. They spend too much money and make mistakes that could have been avoided. In her words, people plus processes equals problems. Elissa Mahendra, a LaunchLab Module One instructor, makes the case for using AI without losing yourself. Use it, and stay the author. Your name and your credibility are on everything you publish. Her talk that night was Women in AI at Every Level, from the dorm room to the boardroom. Casey Juliano of A3, the Association for Advancing Automation, explains why Automate, North America’s largest automation show, is coming to the Las Vegas Convention Center May 10–13, 2027, and how A3 is building the automation workforce from K to gray. The post-show wrap brings in Leslie Paz, a LaunchLab Cohort One founder who was in the Startup Stories hot seat, along with Lorraine, Monica, and Elissa. The challenge for everyone: make the connection, then take the action behind it. Henderson is happening. You can be part of the story or you can get left behind.
