The Start Center for Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship accelerator programs (talent academy, launch institute, starters academy, and founders academy)- these 5-8 week accelerators help entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs at various stages, including discovering their strengths and talents, discovering and devloping healthy business models, helping startups execute their business models and successfully growing a compelling brand, and becoming strong business leaders and chief executives.

Workshops and events- The Start Center hosts a variety of workshops and events in our Center and on-site for partner organizations and events year round. We have our very own fireside chats, featuring successful entrepreneurs that have built thier companies from The ground up, which provides an opportunity for Start Center entrepreneurs to network with each other and ask questions to learn from great community entrepreneurs. Our staff and volunteers teach workshops that are open to The community and we also utilize partners from local businesses and organizations to teach workshops in their expert subject areas. Workshops also include our recurring weekly workshops for after school programs in at-risk middle schools and elementary schools.

1:1 coaching and mentorship-- participants from The community and within our programs frequently request one-on-one coaching and mentorship from Start Center staff and instructors, and Start Center mentors who are experts in key areas that help students and entrepreneurs overcome hurdles, sharpen their systems and processes, and grow their business.
