We've assembled advisors for a free session to help #entrepreneurs of all types learn more about the basics of launching, funding, and growing a young #business by attending a SWIFT #event on Friday, Feb. 9 at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in #Kenosha. Mentors will speak and answer questions on areas such as #legal steps to starting a company, #funding sources for such firms, and public resources generally available to entrepreneurs. Attendees will engage in an exercise aimed at bringing forth their ideas and any challenges that lie ahead. “Contrary to the popular image of entrepreneurs and #startups, #innovation isn’t confined to #Wisconsin’s largest cities or major cities outside the state. The goal of SWIFT, which will engage people in less-traveled places in Wisconsin over the next year, is to tap into people who want to learn more about the basics of launching small businesses,” said Tom Still, who will moderate the session.

Hear how some young companies pulled it off in their own way. #businesslaw #entrepreneur #startups #emergingcompanies https://lnkd.in/gXDvem_5
