We believe that in the world of entrepreneurship, you have to think boldly.  This is the Age of Entrepreneurship – start something today, and let’s work together.  Gone are the days of going it alone.  Entrepreneurs thrive best where they have communities to draw upon.  The ENTREBOLD newsletter is for you – to be inspired, to discover, take action, scale, and grow.

ENTREBOLD: MAY EDITION

It's Time To Meet The CYstarters 2020 Cohort!
Attend the virtual kickoff Thursday, May 21 @ 12:30 p.m. 

The CYstarters experience has helped 60 Iowa State University students and graduates start 50 businesses since the program began in 2016.

Today we grow, again.

The Iowa State Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship is excited to announce the 19 student entrepreneurs that will participate in CYstaters this summer. The 11–week intensive program gives young entrepreneurs the time, funding, network of mentors, and skill-set development to start something while in college. This year, the CYstarters program will adapt to include virtual gatherings due to the safety guidelines issued by the State of Iowa and Iowa State University.

Read about the 14 businesses selected for this year's program as you get excited to "meet" the student entrepreneurs at the CYstarters Virtual Community Kickoff happening on May 21!
