The entrepreneurial journey can be difficult, especially if you feel ill-equipped. That’s why LaunchHOLLYSPRINGS (LHS) exists – to bridge the gap between business ideas and business success.
If you have an interest in jumpstarting your business, check out LHS! Our mission is to assist underserved community members, including underfunded, minority and/or women entrepreneurs, and we have a track record of helping business ideas gain traction to become reality.
In fact, LHS has supported 72 entrepreneurs by helping them move their business forward since its inception in fall of 2018. Whether you have an existing full-time business, a part-time job that’s turning into a full-time role or an idea that needs to be explored, we can help equip you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to succeed in the marketplace.
Our 10-week program starts September 9, 2021. The induction of our fifth cohort will take place September 2. We begin accepting applications in July and close that process August 10. Program participants will receive free instruction on business skills and strategies, networking opportunities, six months of post-graduation mentorship, and potential access to capital. Classes meet each Thursday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. and include a complimentary dinner, a presentation from a member of the Holly Springs business community, group work, and instructional time.
