Small Business Entrepreneurship is an exciting journey, but the path forward isn’t always clear

During this four-part bootcamp, you’ll collaboratively work with peers to strategize, problem-solve, and apply business basics to your idea or venture. Our goal is to challenge you, stretch your thinking, and give you concrete tools to bring your business to life. This bootcamp is not about listening; it’s about doing. Facilitated by Brad Attig with Foundry Collective and Reinventing Rural.

This 2-day workshop will help you to:

• Understand your business model and how to refine it using customer input.
• Learn how to market your business and gain customer awareness.
• Dive into the building blocks needed for financial modeling.
• Build momentum with smart goal setting.

You might be asking, "Is this for me?" It is if you are:

• Looking for a safe place to share, experiment, fail, and learn with others.
• Interested in a proven framework to better identify and address key issues with your business idea.
• Wanting better connections to people and resources to help make progress in getting your business started.
• Looking for concrete next steps to focus on going forward.
• Think you are heading in the right direction but want validation.
• Looking for more than just immediate assistance.
• Needs that extra push to get things going.
