About this Event
Entrepreneurship is more than starting a business.
It’s navigating systems. Accessing capital. Finding customers. Building relationships. And staying resilient when challenges arise.
Join us for Community Talk #3: Entrepreneurship & Business Support, a facilitated community conversation focused on the lived experiences of entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Sistrunk Corridor and surrounding neighborhoods.
This session is part of the ongoing Sistrunk community engagement series and builds on insights from the Sistrunk Empowerment Summit and previous Community Talks.
What This Conversation Will Explore:
- What helped entrepreneurs get started
- What nearly stopped them
- Where systems support small businesses—and where they create barriers
- What real, practical business support should look like in our community
This is not a pitch event or a presentation.
It is a space for honest dialogue, listening, and shared insight.
What we hear will help inform:
- Startup FTL programming
- Impact FTL Micro Grant efforts
- Business support tools and resources
- Future economic development strategies
Your voice matters. Your experience matters.
Let’s build a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem—together.
Who Should Attend
- Current small business owners
- Aspiring entrepreneurs
- Home-based business operators
- Community members interested in local economic growth
- Business support organizations and ecosystem partners
