As a marketing consultant, I hear amazing stories every year from start-up entrepreneurs about their business ideas. The creativity and talent expressed by these innovative thinkers is unmatched, but one roadblock seems to stand in their way…
Start-up capital.
Without enough start-up capital, it is hard to get the word out about your company and your concept. So until then, these future CEOs, Presidents and Managing Partners hide in plain sight. They are the part-time baristas at your neighborhood coffee shop, the account executives at the corporate offices you see from the expressway as you speed home and the seasonal retail employees who ring up your holiday purchases in December.
Don’t they deserve an opportunity to enjoy the experience of starting a small business?
Knead to Rise is a six-week marketing course made especially for start-up entrepreneurs and existing small business owners on a very small budget. This course is taught in-person to make live connections between the new business owners and the expert instructors who can drive their success.
To obtain start-up capital for a business, investors must see the potential for growth in the concept. Also, entrepreneurs must have a marketing strategy to promote their product and/or service to the public. Knead to Rise prepares entrepreneurs to present a sustainable model for growth and helps them clarify the best places to start talking about their businesses.
