THIS MONTH'S THEME: RESILIENCY
We learned so much this year. From foundations for building an authentic brand and considerations for developing an investor pipeline to growth strategies for sales and quick hacks for setting up an eCommerce store. But, above all, 2021 taught us that entrepreneurs are resilient.
Our vibrant community of startup founders and small business owners persevered no matter what was thrown your way. Despite extended pandemic restrictions, supply chain interruptions, labor shortages, and other challenges, Pittsburgh entrepreneurs continued to build their best businesses.
So in December, we’re excited to celebrate the wins achieved in 2021 by our community of entrepreneurs and fortify our resiliency to grow even bigger and better in 2022.
Our virtual event and curated resources will help you:
- Reflect on the challenges and wins of 2021 and celebrate your hard work
- Connect and network with other entrepreneurs, investors, & past workshop presenters
- Hear local founders share their reflections from the past year and get inspired for growth in 2022
