IT's Time to activate!
Activate Now:
Innovate, Connect, Propel
Building on the tremendous success of the Brunch Pitch, we are thrilled to introduce our new initiative, the Activate Series. This series aims to foster collaboration and exchange among participants, enriching their professional journeys. Moreover, the Activate Series provides a unique opportunity to forge stronger relationships within the community, share knowledge, and ultimately create a meaningful and lasting impact on both their industries and the broader economic landscape.
Activate Now is an innovative virtual platform that not only showcases founders, practitioners, and entrepreneurial ecosystem builders but also serves as a bridge to connect diverse sectors within the dynamic business and workforce development landscape to our extensive network.
Activate LIVE! is an innovative in-person curated experience. We convene entrepreneurial ecosystem builders, entrepreneurs, and business providers and explore alignment cross industries, stage of business, and social economic factors.

Activate Series: Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Building In Action
Our four core services are designed to empower entrepreneurs, fostering growth, collaboration, and equity in the business ecosystem. Explore how our Activate Series can connect you with the insights and tools you need to succeed.
Business Ecosystem
Establishing meaningful connections within the entrepreneurial ecosystem is essential for influencing the local economy. Regardless of whether you operate in rural, urban, suburban, or industry-specific communities, small businesses are the backbone of the local economy.
Local Economics
Micro and small businesses serve as the economic engines of our neighborhoods. They frequently hire local residents, contribute to the cultural fabric of the community, and offer goods and services to those who LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY in the area.
Accessible
By adopting inclusive practices, we guarantee that all individuals—irrespective of their abilities, backgrounds, or geographical locations—can fully engage in economic opportunities.
Inclusive Business Resources
Our Inclusive Business Resources provide curated materials, toolkits, and on-demand recordings to support entrepreneurs of all backgrounds. These resources help bridge gaps for underrepresented founders and small businesses, fostering a more equitable and connected business ecosystem.
