Project focus area 

Researching what programs and partnerships already exist for minority start up companies that we may be able to tap in to in our community.

Plan for action

Reach out to the DSM Partnership to set up a call/virtual meeting. Learn about the programs already offered and brainstorm if these may work for our community.

Evidence

We learned that the DSM Partnership already has some great programs in place but they take place in DSM.  We also need to get a better understanding of the needs of our community to see if we can take advantage of existing programs.

Progress

  1. Phase 1 — Plan & Commit 2024-01-23 16:32:33
    Set your project focus and actions, who you’ll engage, and how you’ll measure success—plus a simple timeline. Submit this setup to kick off.
  2. Phase 2 — Midpoint Check-In 2024-02-22 16:32:33
    Share what’s done, what you’re learning, and any course corrections. Note any support needs to stay on track.
  3. Phase 3 — Report & Reflect 2024-03-23 16:32:33
    Summarize outcomes and evidence (reach, partnerships, dollars), key insights and barriers, and recommended next steps. Completing this closes your Actioneer project.
