Point Positive and Clarkson University Join Forces to Support Entrepreneurs
SARANAC LAKE, NY (June 24, 2021) - Point Positive, Inc., in collaboration with Clarkson's Shipley Center for Innovation, will hold a series of Business Ideation Workshops to help individuals interested in starting their businesses. These workshops will help aspiring entrepreneurs identify promising ideas and map out the steps for moving forward.
The Business Ideation Workshops are designed to help participants identify an idea and begin to develop a business plan that may eventually lead to the establishment of a new venture. Through this workshop, entrepreneurs will also gain access to resources, professional services, and ongoing mentoring to assist in the launch and growth of their business. Five locations will host a 2-hour session and conclude with a networking / social hour and one-on-one meetings if desired.
Each location and workshop will be led by staff from the Shipley Center and Point Positive. The five locations throughout the Greater Adirondack region include Canton, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh, Lowville, and Lake Placid. The following are the confirmed dates for the first three sessions. The other locations and workshop dates will be forthcoming.
