CEO Now launches inaugural cohort
The inaugural cohort of CEO Now launched with 20 entrepreneurs eager to build systems and develop the skills to scale their businesses.
Hennepin County Commissioner Kevin Anderson welcomed the first session, highlighting his and other elected officials commitment to entrepreneurs and the critical role businesses play in our communities.
"CEO Now is part of Hennepin County's ongoing efforts to redefine the relationship between government and business--a critical partnership I think can be valuable for both private enterprise and public interests. The success of businesses in Hennepin County directly translates to the success of our residents and communities," Anderson said.
"CEO Now is designed to support your efforts to build systems and processes to be more profitable, but also to innovate, create jobs, and continue to build our reputation as one of the best places to live and do business."
