River District Association Dream Launch 2019 Registration
November 12, 2018
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
NOTE: Registration is open until January 11, 2019. The River District Association presents RDA Dream Launch 2019 for entrepreneurs seeking to open brick and mortar businesses in the River District in Danville, VA This program is an opportunity for serious entrepreneurs that have dreamed of opening their own business. Those that register for the program will be required to attend 6 sessions of our ‘Entrepreneur Bootcamp’, an intensive workshop that will meet once per week for 6 weeks beginning in January to teach participants a full slate of skills and information that business owners need. Opening your own business is hard work, and unfortunately not everyone that starts a business will stay in business. Through this program, we can provide start-ups the tools, information, and assistance to give you the best possible opportunity for success. Participants that complete bootcamp may then elect to participate in “Pitch Night” to compete for cash and other incentives that total over $100,000. Once the pitch is complete, the entrepreneurs that successfully present the most viable and sustainable plans, including capital investment and job creation, will be chosen to move forward in opening their business. RDA will stay involved with the selected businesses, assist with summer grand openings, and match them with mentors in the community. Participants do not have to be current Danville residents, as long as they agree to the program requirements. The program is also open to current businesses that would like to expand, as well as those that would like to audit the courses to prepare for potentially opening a business in the future. There is no cost to participate in the bootcamp or pitch. Participants must register via eventbrite and will be contacted by RDA for additional information. Funding for the program was awarded via a competitive grant from the State of Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for $45,000, and an additional $50,000 from the City of Danville, with the goal of opening 5 new businesses in Summer 2019.
