Spring Bootcamp Recap
We had an incredible weekend! On June 12th–13th, we hosted our Startup Bootcamp with 8 participants ready to discover, promote, build, and launch. Our participants came with business ideas ranging from podcasts and cleaning services to clothing lines and much more. Over two days totaling 12 hours, participants dove deep into their business ideas, refining their concepts and walking away with a clear plan to move forward.
A huge thank you to Jim Irwin for facilitating — his energy and expertise brought so much value to the room, and it showed in the ideas participants walked away with.
Expert-Led Workshops: Finance & Marketing
Tim Daigle, Jeff Francona, and Meghan Speer led workshops on financial modeling, money management, and target market strategy — teaching entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses and connect with customers through consistent, human-centered content. Thank you all for equipping our entrepreneurs with these essential foundations!

Make the wise decision today: seek out a mentor, a coach, and the right resources and connections to help turn that dream into reality.
