-
Our business plan training is streamlined so you can proceed at your own pace based on your business experience and knowledge. If you need additional assistance we will connect you directly to other experts and organizations that can help with a particular part of your business plan
-
It’s free to any entrepreneur. It’s the mission of our nonprofit to help entrepreneurs succeed and we provide all of our trainings for free. We do offer paid membership for entrepreneurs that need implementation assistance or we can connect you to a local SBDC that offers additional free support
-
Although your business plan will satisfy what a bank or investor needs to know about your business, this plan is foremost for you to remove risk and resolve the key areas for your business to succeed.
-
Our business planning methodology and template are designed to also work for an existing business that is looking to expand or create a refreshed strategic business plan
First and foremost, Cultivate has a feeling of momentum and drive that is palpable. The office space is beautiful but moreover, it’s the programming, the people, the conversations, and the collaborations that make this place unique. It’s a community of high level performers exceeding expectations and driving each other forward. Matt Yerkes has created a place that inspires people to deliver, challenge, drive, and succeed. Matt and I have worked together for almost 2 years, I am forever grateful for the clarity he brings to complex business challenges.
Cultivate is a wealth of knowledge and resources for any startup/entrepreneur. You get sound leadership from people that have legitimate business experience who freely give of their experiences and contacts, as well as being in a collaborative environment with real-world help. This isn't just a bunch of good ideas, it is tried and true experience paired with unparalleled generosity.
Cultivate has helped our business grow by bringing together like-minded entrepreneurs to hear presentations on a wide range of topics, as well as providing one on one guidance from Matt that helps us on the 'business' part of our company. One of our better business decisions was joining the team at Cultivate.
