About

Join us for a discussion about how you can partner with the Kauffman Foundation in connecting aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs to the information, frameworks, and resources needed to start and grow businesses in your community.

The event will feature a panel of current FastTrac affiliates and entrepreneur graduates of FastTrac to share their experience engaging with the FastTrac curriculum, as well as more information about how Kauffman’s other resources can help you better support the entrepreneurs you serve every day.

As a FastTrac affiliate, you can help entrepreneurs in your community by facilitating an entrepreneurial education program in English or Spanish.
