Rural Ideas Network
Invigorating rural entrepreneurship doesn't require a complex solution. It's actually pretty simple: rural communities just need the same entrepreneurial resources and supports that exist in larger cities to remain competitive. What's tricky is figuring out how to actually deliver these solutions to rural communities with small populations and limited resources. Rural Ideas Network created "Entrepreneur Labs" to spark growth through coaching, peer learning, and access to industry experts. Following an initial successful pilot, the online support network is ready to expand "Entrepreneur Labs'' to support entrepreneurial success in more rural communities across the U.S.
