What is an Entrepreneur Roundtable?

Entrepreneur Roundtables bring small business owners and early-stage venture founders together on a monthly basis for an exchange of information, challenges, and insights. Groups typically include six to 10 members from diverse industries, in a confidential setting, to share the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship and how it impacts life at work and home.

Guest Speakers

Although peer-to-peer mentoring is highly beneficial, we often find that our entrepreneurs have very specific needs that require expert help. That is when we invite our network of professionals to speak during our roundtable sessions. During this time, our entrepreneurs have the opportunity to ask open and honest questions about the issues facing their company and receive instant feedback and answers directly from an expert in the field.

Goals

The goals of the program are to help Pasco startups and early-stage companies work more efficiently, become more strategic, create more job opportunities, and to maintain a business presence in Pasco County.
