🚀 Today's the day! Leading Edge for Startups begins TONIGHT!

Have you been seeing our posts and thinking, “I really should sign up for that…”?

Consider this your final reminder. There's still time to join us.

Tonight, a new cohort of aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs will come together to start six weeks of actively working on their businesses—not just talking about what they might do someday.

If you have an idea you're ready to explore, a business you're trying to get off the ground, or an early-stage venture that could use a clearer plan, come join us.

Over the next six weeks, we'll work together to turn ideas into actionable business plans—with hands-on work in LivePlan, guidance from local experts, and access to no-cost 1:1 SBDC advising along the way.

📅 We start TONIGHT — Thursday, September 24!
💲 Registration: $250 | Limited scholarships available

It's not too late. Your seat can still be at the table.

🚨 Last call for aspiring entrepreneurs!

Our fall Leading Edge for Startups cohort begins THIS THURSDAY, September 24, and there's still time to join us.

If you have a business idea you've been thinking about, researching, tinkering with—or maybe you've already launched and realized you could use a better plan—this is your opportunity to spend the next six weeks actually working on it.

Not someday.

Now.

You'll work alongside other entrepreneurs, build your business plan using LivePlan, learn from local experts, and have access to no-cost 1:1 SBDC advising as you turn your ideas into an actionable roadmap.

💲 Registration: $250
🎓 Limited scholarships are available

Six weeks from now, you could still be thinking about your business idea.

Or you could have spent six weeks building it.
