Subject: Bootstrap Chatham/EntreDot Meet & Greet – 9/23
The Chatham Economic Development Corporation and EntreDot are hosting a free meet and greet for entrepreneurs and small business owners at the Pittsboro Roadhouse on Monday, September 23, 2013 from 4:00-6:00pm. Come enjoy some light food fare and learn about EntreDot’s innovative approach to entrepreneurship and how it can help your small business succeed.
EntreDot provides a comprehensive entrepreneurship education program. The EntreDot “Six Steps to Success” program brings discipline to the process of managing the complexities of determining if you have a great business idea and how to get it to a point of commercialization. EntreDot focuses on “Main Street” businesses, where most of the new small business jobs are created in this country. And we will gladly help proprietorships who aspire to grow into the “Main Street” business community.
The “Six Steps” process meets entrepreneurs at their point of greatest need and guides them with an assigned mentor to their own version of success.
