Virtual Event | June 17, 2021 | Atlanta
Our second Entrepreneur Bootcamp took place in Atlanta on June 17 as our community aimed to connect the city’s underserved community of entrepreneurs with the human capital they need to succeed. With frank conversations from business leaders who have climbed the ranks, to instructional teachings on how to scale your business, market your brand, and position yourself for growth, this interactive virtual event will look to educate, inspire, and provide lasting connections for Atlanta’s business owners.
This series of bootcamps kicked off in Detroit, and we’re excited to bring future sessions to the cities of Chicago, Birmingham and more. Every step of the way our goal is to connect resources with local entrepreneurs, and begin to raise the profile of these small business owners amid our own NYSE listed community.
