Description

Are you an entrepreneur in the start-up phase of your business? Maybe you are thinking of becoming a new business owner and working on a few ideas?

This 2-hour workshop by Melissa Woodside & Rylan Friday is free and includes refreshments and snacks plus lots of networking with other entrepreneurs in the local Victoria community.

The interactive mixer will focus on a secret sauce that blends elements of story and technology to make the ultimate business plan that triggers funding. We look into how both creativity and technology can be seen as assets or tools that lead to growth and are integral for writing a business plan.

With the advent of AI, it’s easy to delegate a lot of the heavy lifting and writing to a tool that can help write portions of the business plan or grant for you. There is a way, however, to keep working with technology for maximum efficiency and speed without diluting the soul and authenticity aspect - and it’s by knowing your overarching story.
