2019 Indy popUp Business school recap
The PopUp Business School may have left Indy, but the relationships made and the skills learned are here to stay! If you couldn’t make it, here’s what you missed.
Over the course of 10 fun-packed days, a total of 120 entrepreneurs attended this revolutionary event! This diverse group of entrepreneurs ranged from chefs, consultants, cosmetologists, artists, and many others that all brought valuable insight and experiences to the course discussions. Participants learned how to create and enhance their product and product design, market themselves and their business, build a website, navigate and conquer different social media platforms, finance their business, and so much more! At the end of PopUp, entrepreneurs had the opportunity to showcase their products and services at trade-in day to gain experience in launching their ideas to the market and most importantly, to make sales! Indianapolis Mayor, Joe Hogsett attended this event and touched the hearts of many with his kind words and support. Participants not only left this program equipped to launch their business, but they also created long-term relationships and a strong community of hard-working and innovative entrepreneurs. A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, partners, supporters, and the PopUp Team for making this unique program a huge success!
