Impact Hub Hosts Global Entrepreneurship Week Event
Weeklong Startup Workshops from Nov. 13-17 Aims to Inspire and Educate Innovators
 
Santa Barbara, California (October 30, 2017) — Impact Hub Santa Barbara will be thinking global and acting local during its celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). The transformative weeklong event at Impact Hub SB presents a curated educational opportunity for local innovators looking to turn big “back-of-the-napkin” ideas into viable businesses.
“Not only will you have access to a diverse list of workshops, you will be able to collaborate and pitch your ideas to the most innovative mentors in the community,” said Breanna Chandler, Marketing and Events Manager, Impact Hub SB. “We are here to help you get connected and inspired to make a positive impact on our local and global communities.”
Designed as both a networking event and educational resource, GEW merges opportunities for professional development with a curated lineup of deep dive workshops in areas such as finance, marketing, and sales as well as invaluable exposure to community leaders.  There are multiple networking opportunities with speakers during collaborative pitch parties and expos that ensure that individuals at any stage of the startup process, from idea to conception, get the support they seek. The overarching theme of GEW is to provide tools and expertise to position entrepreneurs to grow and succeed in business.
Through its involvement in Global Entrepreneurship Week, Impact Hub SB (www.impacthubsb.com) continues to create a community in which any entrepreneur tackling the world’s greatest problems can access the people and skills they need to start and scale their company.
SEED SPOT Launch Camp November 15 and 16
During GEW, Impact Hub will host SEEDSPOT’s 2-day Launch Camp, which immerses new entrepreneurs in education, training, and support to take their concepts from idea to businesses with impact. Throughout the program, entrepreneurs will have access to mentors, content experts, SEED SPOT’s curriculum, and a network of colleagues. The launch camp program culminates in an evening where the entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to the community, discuss potential roadblocks in their projects and receive invaluable constructive feedback.  In true community spirit Impact Hub is rallying around our entrepreneurs and working with local sponsors to make scholarships available to all SEED SPOT participants.  Space is limited to 20 entrepreneurs on Nov.15th and 16th, so apply today!
