GREENSBORO, N.C. — If you're a small business owner or dream of being a small business owner, the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce has an event with you in mind next week! Joey Cheek, the chamber's Executive Vice President of Entrepreneurship joined the Good Morning Show at 9 a.m. to talk about Startup Week.
Startup Week is a week of events to help people who want to start businesses. Cheek says since many of Greensboro's small businesses are home kitchen table businesses, many people in the community just need a little more information to take their businesses to the next level. Ideally, Greensboro would become a place where people can launch national brands and big businesses.
The Chamber of Commerce creates Startup Week to give local business owners access to entrepreneurs, influencers, and the information they need. Startup Week offers multiple free sessions over five days for people to take advantage of.
