Join us for the first session of our new Founders Fit Bootcamp Series, a monthly webinar series from SOAR Innovation designed to equip early-stage entrepreneurs with practical, actionable tools to build and grow their business in Eastern Kentucky and beyond.

Bootstrap Bootcamp kicks off the series with a focus on lean budgeting and resourcefulness, core traits of successful founders. You’ll learn how to:

• Build a 6-month lean startup budget
• Identify and stretch the resources you already have
• Think like a bootstrapper (because the best founders start with what’s in their hands)

This live Zoom session will be led by Rick West, SOAR Innovation’s Entrepreneur-in-Residence and a successful founder who built and scaled his company from the ground up. Joining Rick for this session is Jared Arnett, an Eastern Kentucky entrepreneur experienced in bootstrapping businesses who serves at the Entrepreneur-in-Residence and a professor at the University of Pikeville.

Whether you’re still in idea mode or trying to make the most of limited funds, this bootcamp will help you find your fit as a founder.
