Morning Momentum

Not a pitch; a problem.

Morning Momentum is a monthly series designed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs troubleshoot issues that are hindering growth. Presenters have an opportunity to present barriers their company is experiencing and receive immediate feedback from seasoned business community leaders. Each Morning Momentum is designed to propel companies forward, foster mentor relationships, and spur innovation.

What is the format?

Presenters have 8 minutes to share the problem(s) they are currently facing that are preventing them from growing. This is not a pitch.ย Presenters will then be provided with feedback from the audience to address their challenges.

What are the topics?

  • Marketing and promoting your business
