Hennepin County’s CEO Start informational session

Join us for a brief informational session to learn more about the CEO Start cohort. Members of the Elevate Hennepin team will share an overview of the program and answer questions on expectations, eligibility, and the application process. 

CEO Start is an 11-week group-learning opportunity that prepares aspiring and existing entrepreneurs with insights, relationships, and tools to turn their ideas into viable businesses.

Peer groups of 10 to 15 entrepreneurs will work through the nationally recognized curriculum focused on testing ideas and identifying key assumptions through interviews, peer-to-peer conversation, research, and facilitated discussions on key foundational elements. Professional pitch coaches will also guide participants as they prepare for a final presentation.

We look forward to having you join us.
