2019 was a great year!
Last year was an extremely productive year serving the neighborhoods with business workshops, coaching, networking and seed funding. In total, 379 individuals took advantage of our programs, courses and services.
Thanks to your direct participation and support throughout the year, existing and aspiring businesses gained the knowledge, practiced the skills and networked their way to success and a bright future ahead.
A note from Executive Director Steve Thrash
Do you know how to put socks on a rooster?
One entrepreneur described the challenges of starting and operating a business "like putting socks on a rooster." His description creates a vivid picture of the many challenges faced by entrepreneurs wanting to start, grow and sustain their businesses.
If you can just get the world to pause for a moment, you’d have time to adequately plan for and put in place just the right combination of product, pricing, promotion and place, to be successful in business. But like that rooster moving about, it is unlikely you will have that luxury, building your business as the environment evolves around you.
At SOURCE River West, we work with our neighborhood entrepreneurs to prepare them to attack those challenges. Learn more about how we can help.
