CHARLOTTE  — OnceLogix LLC is a nationally recognized award-winning software company in Winston-Salem. Over the past 10 years, OnceLogix founders Rod Brown, Ty McLaughlin and Trinity Manning have created several successful, profitable businesses that continue to sustain profitability year after year.

After learning that less than 1.5 percent of minority-owned companies were on the Inc. 5000 list, the founders concluded that they wanted to do something to help with this systemic problem by creating The Small Business Cookout.

Small Business Cookout (SBC) is to bring together entrepreneurs, small business owners, thought leaders, and aspiring entrepreneurs together to explore ways to make their businesses more profitable and provide a greater source of resources.

The SBC will consist of a two-day experience in Feb. 9-10 in Charlotte. Attendees will immerse in knowledge and best practices that will take the individual and their business to the next level. The event will expose entrepreneurs to mastery techniques where they can dive deep with leading professionals, into leadership, being in the right business, growing their business, the “whys” behind what each entrepreneur does, being authentic, and much more.
