Now’s the time to act
Do you have a great business idea?
Are you sitting on a great business idea or maybe you own a start-up and are looking to refine your business plan? If so, the Idea Incubator may be right for you. This training program is set up to meet your needs as you plan to successfully launch or grow your business.
Idea Incubators provide a 10-week business development course for local entrepreneurs. This unique program offers an interactive and conversational way for a group of aspiring entrepreneurs to learn and work through the early stages of the business planning process, while creating the types of positive relationships and networking essential for small business owners. Upon completion, participants will leave with a solid business model, an outline for community impact, an understanding of what their next steps are, and an understanding of foundational business models like developing a minimum viable product and a target market.
The Women’s Business Center at ASSETS houses all of Entrepreneur Training’s programs. It exists to support small business owners who are starting or expanding their businesses. While extra consideration is given to the specific challenges and issues for women entrepreneurs, the programs serve all—women, men, and racial and ethnic minorities.
