December 2024 Newsletter: 🎉 Reflecting on 2024 – Growth, Gratitude, and New Beginnings!

As 2024 comes to an end, we’re looking back on an amazing year at CCE. With the help of 45 volunteer mentors, we worked with 53 entrepreneurs through our Pathways, Kinetic, and Velocity programs. These programs give creative business owners the tools and support they need to grow their ideas. This year, we also awarded $24,000 in seed grants to help these entrepreneurs take their next steps.

To show our thanks, we held a volunteer appreciation event to celebrate the mentors, facilitators, board members, and guest speakers who make our work possible. Their passion and hard work have made a real difference for the entrepreneurs we serve, and we couldn’t do it without them. Plus, they showed off some awesome (and impressively ugly) sweaters!

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to kick off new Pathways and Kinetic cohorts. Pathways for Entrepreneurial Success is a six-week program that helps new entrepreneurs build the right mindset for growth. Kinetic is a six-week boot camp for early-stage entrepreneurs who want to test their ideas and learn about their customers.
