“I absolutely loved the
Downtown Diversity
Initiative. Not only did I
have the opportunity to
meet new and aspiring
entrepreneurs, I learned to
take conceptual business
ideas, put them on paper,
and execute them in a 5
minute pitch for investors.
I highly recommend any
aspiring entrepreneurs or
existing business owners to
enroll.
