Hey, I’m Jess Bruno—32, Pisces (Leo rising), and I literally started my business on the toilet. No, seriously.

I have ulcerative colitis, and back in the pre-WFH days, my boss just couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that I was “too sick” for a conventional 9-5 in marketing and events. So, in a fit of rage (and with 20p to my name), I quit, switched my personal Insta to a business account, and built my own marketing consultancy.

Since then? Over 300 small biz babes served, my first six-figure year hit, and proof that I didn’t need a clueless boss to thrive. LOOK AT ME NOW, BEN. 🤣

I love my business, but I missed clubbing. Except now, with my lil’ stoma bag, I’m in bed by 9pm. So I created something new—an inclusive space where small business owners can swap business cards and shake some ass.

Enter Ne’Twerking. A trademarked day rave for small biz owners—because your networking events should be as fun as your nights out used to be. And yes, it’s my guests’ favourite business expense. Try explaining that to your accountant.

🔥 Live DJ
🍹 Drinks
🍑 Twerk class

Two sold-out events in, with raving reviews, and even today, someone in this very group recognised me from Ne’Twerking.

Buzzing to be here, meet new people, and have some juicy convos!

@Jess Bruno, this is hands down one of the best intros I’ve seen here! 🚀🔥 "LOOK AT ME NOW, BEN." 🤣 Absolutely love your story—turning a fit of rage and 20p into a thriving business is iconic. Ne’Twerking sounds like the ultimate networking upgrade—because who says business events can’t be a party?

Massive respect for what you’ve built, and I’m sure there are loads of small biz owners here who’d love to hear more about your journey. Welcome to the Startup Networks community—buzzing to see what’s next for you! 🎉💃
