DATE CHANGE: Due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, Ticket to the FastTrac has been moved from January 18 to January 25.
Entrepreneurs, mark your calendars! TechTown is opening its doors the third Monday of every month to give entrepreneurs an opportunity to meet with advisors who help them select and enroll in the program best suited for their business goals.
Programs include:
- FastTrac, a practical hands-on business development program designed to help entrepreneurs hone the skills needed to create, manage and grow a successful business.
- SmartStart, TechTown’s business accelerator program for innovative startup companies, providing coaching, intensive practical sessions, small business loans and mentoring with skilled professionals to help you reach maximum profitability.
- Bizdom U, an entrepreneurial development program providing training, workspace to develop your business, funding, and incubation space after you launch the business. It starts with intense full-time business development for four months and continues to provide support after you launch the business. All of the services are provided at no cost if you are accepted.
- Shifting Gears, a five-month intensive program helping corporate workers adapt their knowledge and skill sets in order to transition into more competitive and effective professionals focused on small business growth.
… and more.
