Are you innovative? Do you want to someday be your own boss? Do you like to solve problems? Join E2 Emerging Entrepreneurs—a free, six-week workshop series for entrepreneurial-curious, current high school and college students (age 16+).
Learn about entrepreneurship from local start-up founders and innovators in an informal setting. No grades. No exams. Just like-minded, go-getters exploring what it takes to start and run a business. Research shows that when you are starting your own business, you don't want to do it alone. E2 gives you the opportunity to get the scoop from actual business founders and to bounce your thoughts, ideas and questions off a group of peers... before you launch!
