NEW BUSINESS STARTUP: FASTTRAC SW FLORIDA, is an eight-week, fast-paced entrepreneurship training course, to help you develop your idea into a successful business.
Don’t yet have an idea, but have a burning passion to run your own company? No problem. This course will help you determine if your idea is viable. Even if you don’t yet have an idea, we’ll show you how to go about finding one that works and that matches your unique skills, talents and passions. We’ll cover idea formation, market validation, market assessment and positioning, product launch, customer acquisition, business planning and financing. You’ll meet like-minded entrepreneurs, speakers, and mentors who will help guide you on the journey.
The sessions will be held once a week for eight weeks, on Monday evenings, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm, at the SW FL Enterprise Center, 3903 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, in Fort Myers. Session 1 starts on April 2. The last session is May 21.
Cost: The full course is $74.20 per person, payable AFTER the first session — to make sure it’s a good fit for you. You may bring a spouse or business partner for an additional $37.10 ($111.30 for two tickets). A $40 deposit is required to secure your spot in the course.
