Rural Nevada Roadshow: Empowering Entrepreneurs in Rural Communities
About the Program
The StartUpNV Rural Nevada Roadshow is a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurial growth and success among small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs in rural Nevada. This program is brought to life through a partnership with the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) and sponsorship from the USDA. Throughout the year, the Roadshow will travel to eight different communities across seven counties, delivering a series of educational events designed to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.
These events will cover essential topics crucial for business growth, including developing robust business models, understanding customer needs, assessing market size, and crafting compelling value propositions. In addition to these key learnings, participants will gain insights into local resources and programs, such as GOED’s international trade and export initiatives, and receive access to StartUpNV’s online incubator, IncubateNV.
