The Speakeasy

From the Ground Up (FGU) focuses on empowering and educating individuals at the earliest stage of business development. FGU includes a comprehensive, four-hour entrepreneurship workshop on Saturday, October 26 and monthly office hours designed to equip aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners by providing essential knowledge in the realms of legal, human resources, accounting, and banking. This business startup training is intentionally designed to be industry agnostic and serve as a springboard for business growth regardless of scalability/growth potential making it accessible to both small, medium, and high growth companies. While the workshop takes a deep dive into each topic area, each service provider is also available on a month-basis within The Speakeasy to answer to those just-in-time questions! Both empower you with smart startup strategies!
