SCCF invites all budding entrepreneurs to the July 19-20 Start-Up Experience.

Hosted by Staunton Creative Community Fund (SCCF) at Blue Ridge Community College, this 16-hour intensive workshop brings participants on an entrepreneurial rollercoaster to ideate, problem solve, and network. The Startup Experience framework, trusted by companies like Microsoft and Intel, is open to all youth and adults seeking to incubate a business idea in teams.

After receiving certification from the Startup Experience team, SCCF is bringing this internationally acclaimed workshop to the valley for entrepreneurs of all ages.

The experience brings participants out of their comfort zone, allows for exploration and criticism, and aims to grow the start-up community within the Shenandoah Valley.
