At The Bridge we work with new entrepreneurs every day. This 4-hour workshop reflects what we have learned about the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship and offers practical guidance on how to start a high impact business.</p> <p>At The Bridge we focus on scalable and high impact businesses as opposed to “Main Street” small businesses. There is often, but not always, a strong element of technological innovation in these businesses. This might involve software development, engineering or even food science. Scalable businesses generally have more significant investment requirements and nationally, if not globally directed strategies.</p> <p>In this entrepreneurial workshop participants will learn about: Financing Options – We will outline known and conventional funding sources for Entrepreneurs as well as discuss bootstrapping a startup without any outside funding</p> <p>The Stages of a startup and what to expect at each stage IDEA > CONCEPT > COMMIT > VALIDATION > SCALE > ESTABLISHING</p> <p>Business Model Canvas – This useful framework is a foundational tool for early stage founders to effectively map out all the areas required to make a business successful</p> <p>This workshop is put on in cooperation with WorkSource and The Bridge. There is a fee of $495 per attendee, but based on eligibility Worksource is offering full scholarships to qualified individuals.</p> <p>Please contact Doreen Englemann at WorkSource WA for details at <a href="mailto:dengelmann@esd.wa.gov">dengelmann@esd.wa.gov</a> or 360-735-4960.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/thebridgevanwa/events/242153488/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
