Exclusive to Iowa Entrepreneurs

Official Launch = August 19th, 2024

Isolated and Underequipped: Stats don't lie 

Being an entrepreneur in Iowa is tough.

You’re out there alone. No one to bounce ideas off. Software? You’re guessing what’s worth the cash. Clients and customers? Good luck finding them in a cornfield. It’s not your fault. Iowa’s not Silicon Valley. Resources are thin. Communities are scattered. But that doesn’t mean we have to continue letting it be this way.
