Welcome to the Thrive Community
In this blog, we will thoroughly explore every facet of local community development. We'll draw on various resources, skills, and real-life examples to illustrate how you can actively participate in and contribute to community development.
The Entrepreneurial Pipeline Nobody Built for You (And How to Build One for Your Community)
A pitch competition, workshop series, or loan program doesn’t automatically create an entrepreneurship ecosystem. Renee and Sarah explain what it takes to connect resources, relationships, capital, and ongoing support into a pipeline that helps entrepreneurs start and grow.
Where to Find Grants
Finding grants isn’t really about knowing which database to search. Renee and Sarah explain how to narrow the funding landscape, identify opportunities that truly fit your work, and build funder relationships that improve your chances of success.
You Don’t Need to Be Ready. You Need to Start.
Waiting until everything is perfect can keep a good business idea from ever getting started. Renee and Sarah explain why starting small helps entrepreneurs test ideas, learn from real customers, and build with more confidence.
