Our core strength lies in the group's ability to leverage our combined resources and relationships to empower small business owners to Thrive in business and life.
The Upstate Entrepreneur Group is a community for Entrepreneurs located in the Upstate of South Carolina. It is a place to share ideas, have active discussions, collaborate, network, listen to speakers present topics important to entrepreneurs (starting and growing a company, sales and marketing, human resources, technology, legal, tax, finance and accounting, operations, creating a completely virtual company, working remotely, hiring remote workers, family and mental health issues). It is also a place for current 9 to 5 workers that want to now take an entrepreneurial path or perhaps entrepreneurs that would like to go back and join the workforce.
This is a group for like-minded entrepreneurial thinkers and doers who have a burning passion for both their product and/ or service and the greater impact it will have on the world. A place where small business development and strategy discussion can take place alongside collective critical thinking and creative collaboration. This is also a group for those that are just starting to launch their business along with those that are more established
