REAL WORLD ADVICE FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
MicroGiant Student and Young Business Startups
We organize and run small pods of eight to twelve members who are considering a new business or working on building a business plan. These chapters are low cost or scholarship driven.
Our Edu-Mentoring program is built around three decades of direct engagement with hundreds of start-ups and small businesses (up to 250 employees). This unique perspective of success and failure brings special insight to how to beat the odds of failing within 5 years.
This program interfaces with business degrees and real work experience but focuses on actual examples of success not case studies of large businesses. “Small Business is not big business only small.” Small Businesses are actually a completely different type of organization that needs specialty knowledge. Material is exclusive to MicroGiant members developed by experts with decades of experience with independent businesses, not large corporations, because "independent" is just not the same as "corporate."
TOPICS INCLUDED DURING SESSIONS

•Develop your pathway to starting a business
•Meet experts and pick their brains
