The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) announced recently that it created a program called UpStart to help aspiring minority and female entrepreneurs gain the skills needed to be successful in business.
Today, I was selected to teach a class on creating websites during the 13-week session. It’s truly an honor for me, especially being a minority entrepreneur myself.
Other class topics include financing, legal issues and customer development.
I’m glad Madison is starting to have more programs to help would-be business owners. Another example is the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Dane County–a client of ours–which is improving business practices by providing training to Latino entrepreneurs.
