Event Details
The U.S. Small Business Administration is hosting a "Hot Start New Business Creation" program during Digital Capital Week to promote the startup ecosystem in our Nation's Capital.
Aspiring entrepreneurs and current start-ups are invited to join SBA and a wide range of partners and business experts who will share advice, practical tips, and more, all free and open to the public.
One-on-one and panel sessions on start-up basics, the 'nuts and bolts' of running a small business, financing options, and real-world case studies will compliment hands-on services provided by counselors, lenders, and local business licensing officials. All entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in starting their first business (or their fifteenth!) are welcome to attend.
The program will run from 9am - 1pm at which point we'll begin our full Digital Garage programming schedule.
All SBA programs are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis. Reasonable arrangements for persons with disabilities will be made, if requested at least 10 days in advance, by contacting events@istrategylabs.com
