Launch Point is a micro-enterprise empowerment initiative designed to support individuals who are building small businesses in order to support themselves and their families. Some of our entrepreneurs are seeking to build full-time businesses, while others are seeking to supplement their income, either way we’re here to help them succeed!
This initiative provides coaching, support, networking opportunities, and the ability to showcase individual businesses here and at the WIN store to increase their exposure.
The LaunchPoint store-within-a-store concept showcases some of the works of these artisans and entrepreneurs.
WIN is actively seeking mentors who would like to partner with us to help these businesses build success. For more information, contact us to set up an appointment.
