About this webinar

Not a presentation.
An open business discussion.

A free, community-focused session created to help people overcome confusion, fear, limited resources, and the common challenges that stop a business from moving.

You can ask real questions about starting, managing and growing a business — and get direct, practical answers. The session reflects the spirit of Mandela Day by using knowledge and entrepreneurship as tools for long-term community transformation.

Community impact goal

The impact of this session will not be measured by attendance, but by:

  • Businesses started
  • Businesses improved
  • Jobs created
  • Skills developed
  • Customers gained
  • Communities strengthened
Entrepreneurs learning together
