It Takes a Village to Raise a Small Business (aka the Original Startup)

Moderator: Michael Bevis, Director of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, City & County of Denver OED
Panelists:
Makisha Boothe, Founder & CEO, Sistahpreneurs - www.sistah.biz
Yessica Holguin, Director, Center for Community Wealth Building - www.communitywealthbuilding.org
Harris Rollinger, Director, Entrepreneurship For All - www.EforAll.org
Jeremy T. Katz, Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute - www.rmmfi.org

Join us for a panel discussion focused on the tools, resources, and capital that are available to under-resourced entrepreneurs and aspiring small business owners across the front range. This will be a casual-conversation environment, where the audience can easily interact with panelists and develop a discourse leading to a call to action to support under-resourced small business owners.

If you are an aspiring (or existing!) small business entrepreneur, impact investor, subject matter expert, or curious observer, you will not want to miss this unique gathering of community-builders as we host an open discussion on what's working well and where the gaps are. You will walk away from this session with information, ideas, and actionable steps to join the movement to build a diverse, equitable, and more inclusive startup community in Denver.

Happy Hour beers will be provided
Spanish language translation will be provided
