About this Event

​About this event

​Most entrepreneurs don’t have a tax problem.
They have a structure problem.

​In this session, we’ll break down how to structure your business properly so you can keep more of what you make, stay compliant, and avoid costly mistakes early on.


​What you’ll learn
  • ​How to choose the right business structure (and when to change it)
  • ​Common tax mistakes founders make early on
  • ​How to pay yourself efficiently
  • ​What actually matters (and what doesn’t) when it comes to taxes
  • ​How to think about your business long-term from a tax perspective

​Format
  • ​45-min talk
  • ​30-min open AMA
  • ​Networking + pizza

​About the speaker

​Paola Villagra is the CEO of TaxCatch Solutions, where she helps entrepreneurs structure their businesses and optimize their tax strategy.

​She works closely with founders across different stages, helping them make better financial decisions from day one.


​Who this is for
  • ​Founders and freelancers making money (or about to)
  • ​People unsure if their current structure is “right”
  • ​Anyone who wants clarity before it becomes expensive

​Convergence is a hub for innovation, alongside its sister companies Pixel Ramen (UX Research & Design) and Giant Leap (AI R&D studio).
