Applications open for Hennepin County entrepreneur training

Existing and aspiring entrepreneurs who reside in Hennepin County are being invited to apply for CEO Start powered by CO.STARTERS, a 10-week group learning opportunity.

Peer groups of 10 to 15 entrepreneurs will work through a curriculum focused on testing ideas and identifying key assumptions through interviews, peer-to-peer conversations, research, and facilitated discussions.

To qualify, participants must be residents of Hennepin County, have an idea or an existing business in an early stage, be willing to question, shape and fine-tune that idea, and be willing to talk about the idea with others. Non-profit ideas and organizations are not currently eligible.

Applications are open via this form and will be accepted through July 12. Cohort sessions will run Tuesday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. from Sept. 10 through Nov. 19.
