Great connecting with partners at the Rural NWMO Roundtable today!

Launch Pad - STJ Codefi Missouri SBDC at Missouri State University

Over the last 2.5 years, Early-Stage Business Boot Camps helped more than 330 entrepreneurs across southern Missouri move from ideas and uncertainty to meaningful next steps.

Through 34 cohorts hosted in more than 20 communities, participants came together to ask questions, learn from experienced professionals, build connections and gain a clearer understanding of what it takes to start and grow a business.

Along the way, new businesses launched, confidence grew and relationships formed that continue to support entrepreneurs long after the sessions ended.

This work was made possible through support from the Missouri Department of Economic Development and the U.S. Bank Foundation, along with the guest speakers, training partners and communities that helped bring each cohort to life.

The momentum created through these Boot Camps — brought to life by our Missouri SBDC at Missouri State University team, guest speakers, and the partners who stepped up and said “yes, let’s support those aspiring entrepreneurs in our area” — will continue. That’s something to celebrate. Thank you for being part of it!
