Time: 12:00-1:00pm EST

Guest speaker: Camron Brown, Serial Entrepreneur, Forbes Next 1000 Honoree

Webinar Overview: Camron Brown is the founder of Counter, a fintech company that addresses the challenges of disability insurance claims by eliminating elimination periods. The idea for Counter came from Camron's personal experience in 2021 when they lost the ability to walk due to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Faced with the frustrating and harmful process of disability claims, Camron set out to create a solution that would help others avoid the same struggles.

As a two-time founder, Camron has a background in sales, operations, business compliance, and law, holding a 4.0 GPA from Texas A&M School of Law. His entrepreneurial journey is complemented by a strong commitment to social impact, with involvement in non-profit work aimed at helping individuals in recovery from addiction and those re-entering society after incarceration. Camron’s leadership, paired with their personal experience and dedication to improving the disability claims process, drives Counter’s mission to provide financial support and ensure fairness for people on disability or FMLA leave.

Join this webinar on March 4th to listen to Camron’s story, how he started the business, and where he is now after completing Bootcamp.
