Startup Foundations In Person Workshop, located at Bryant University, 1150 Douglas Pike, Smithfield, RI 02917

Startup Foundations is a monthly introductory webinar designed for aspiring entrepreneurs who are seriously considering starting a business, but want a realistic picture of what that actually involves.

This session goes beyond the idea stage to break down the core components of launching a business, including time commitment, legal and financial considerations, market validation, and the mindset required to move from concept to execution. It’s intentionally structured to help participants assess whether entrepreneurship is the right path for them right now.

Startup Foundations is ideal for individuals who:

  1. Have a business idea but aren’t sure where to start
  2. Are exploring entrepreneurship and want a clear, honest overview
  3. Want to avoid common early mistakes before investing time or money

By the end of the session, attendees will walk away with a stronger understanding of what it truly takes to start a business, clarity on their next steps, and insight into available resources and support.

Sessions are offered monthly, both in person and online, making it easy to attend from anywhere.
