STATE FORTY EIGHT FOUNDATION ENTREPRENEUR SPEAKER SERIES PRESENTED BY FOUR PEAKS BREWING
At the State Forty Eight Foundation, we’ve made it our mission to fuel Arizona dreams and drive local prosperity through entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneur Speaker Series is a free four-week educational and community building event designed to serve as a resource for current or aspiring small business owners in Arizona. If you’ve been working on a business venture or looking for entrepreneurial guidance, then this series is for you!
Each week, the series will tackle a topic or theme central to the entrepreneurial journey. Joined by some of Arizona’s most remarkable C-Suite executives, founders, industry experts, and local community leaders, this series will connect through engaging storytelling, expert guidance, and community cultivation. There’s much knowledge and insight to be gained from individuals who have been through it before and from experts with valuable strategies to share! Our aim is that you walk away better equipped and inspired to pursue your venture - or get it to the next level.
To top it all off, this year, we will be awarding $50,000 through the Foundation’s Entrepreneur Grant Program to local entrepreneurs! Check out our program website, www.sfef-speakerseries.org to learn more about the grant process and eligibility requirements.
