Berks County Startup Resources Roundtable

Learn about the many free resources available to help grow your startup!

Did you know that most businesses located in downtowns come from entrepreneurs within the community, not from external recruitment? Due to low in​terest rates and high rates of unemployment, COVID-19 has accelerated the trend of new business startups.

Join us for an informative webinar showcasing the variety of local business services and resources for growing your startup. Our panelists will highlight their role in our entrepreneurial ecosystem, and how they can help improve your startup success. Come learn about the many resources offered by Alvernia’s O’Pake Institute, Assets, Berks LaunchBox, Entrepreneurs Connection, Kutztown Small Business Development Center, Small Business Resource Association, and SCORE!

Thursday, May 20: 6:30-7:30pm – Free Webinar
There will be time after the webinar to enter breakout rooms with panelists from each organization to discuss your needs and how they might be able to assist you. (approximately 7:30-7:45pm in a separate zoom meeting we will share the link for.)
