Meets on Tuesdays from April 18th – May 16th, 2017
Mountain BizWorks Alpine Class is a new 5 week intensive specifically designed for existing entrepreneurs past the start-up phase and are eager to improve their business in a Foundations-like peer setting with their actual numbers and market feedback to work with.
The peer-to-peer learning environment coupled with one-on-one coaching support will give you the confidence to make the next steps towards growing and generating results for your business. The class addresses challenges and opportunities directly related to your venture. Alpine also provides you with the tools to determine if and when to scale your business model and can serve as an excellent precursor to our ScaleUp WNC program.
Is Alpine a good fit for you? Sign up today or contact us with additional questions!
- Week 1: The focus this week is on regaining perspective of your venture today, your mission and vision, and what your goals are for this course and for the future. It is also a chance to get to know your fellow cohort members and begin learning from their entrepreneurial endeavors.
- Weeks 2 and 3: During these sessions we focus on the numbers and the stories that they tell. In Week 2, we will interpret key financial statements and look closely at each line of business within the venture in relation to units of sale, break-even points, and profit and sales goals. During Week 3, we will utilize Birds Eye Financial Tools to create cash flow projections for the future based on new ideas or opportunities surfacing within the business.
- Week 4: We focus on the marketing efforts to date: how is the venture generating awareness about its products and services and gaining feedback from its audiences? During Week 4 we will review all current marketing materials and revisit core concepts of creating a strong brand identity while gaining feedback from peers. During this week we will brainstorm and create new ideas and pathways for connecting with our clients and customers.
- Week 5: The last week will be final presentations of participant’s action plans for moving forward. The remaining time participants will have a potluck celebration and final reflections.
Course fee is $375
