Fifty Reading Area Community College (RACC) business students and their instructor, Paula Mazurkiewicz, visited the Berks LaunchBox this week (over 3 days time) to learn about becoming entrepreneurs!

Students learned that the Berks LaunchBox doesn’t just support current startups already working on an idea, but also is a place for someone with the goal of becoming an entrepreneur to flourish. We shared the benefits of guided brainstorming sessions and idea testing to find the perfect problem to solve with a new product or service. Our free Mini Idea Creation Lab offered in January and Idea Design Lab offered in March are the starting points for this process!

RACC students were able to ask questions of two entrepreneurs working at the LaunchBox.  They also learned about the benefit of designing a scalable business and developing a growth mindset for entrepreneurial success.
