🌟 We recently had an amazing workshop with FMO - Dutch entrepreneurial development bank on value-based innovation 💡 Together we explored existing business models and the ‘why’ behind value-based innovation. In teams, we worked towards crafting a winning value proposition by diving deep into the customers, understanding their needs, and their ‘jobs to be done’ 🚀   It was an energizing session that went beyond numbers, focusing on creating real impact for customers! 💥 Thank you to everyone who participated in this insightful session.

Embracing the Future: A Proud Graduate of the Economic Evolution Accelerator I am thrilled to announce that I am among the first cohort of graduating founders from the Economic Evolution Accelerator, an initiative driven by the Northern Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce. This unique workshop-driven program has been a transformative journey, focusing on critical areas such as mentorship, training, leadership mindset, and technology. Unlike many other accelerator programs that concentrate on a specific sector like technology, the Economic Evolution Accelerator's holistic approach aims to equip Black-owned businesses with the education and resources necessary to thrive, sustain, and secure funding. This broad focus is especially empowering, enabling entrepreneurs to transcend industry boundaries and scale their ventures effectively. The Economic Evolution Accelerator is more than a program; it’s a catalyst for growth and sustainability. By participating, I have unlocked access to invaluable resources and gained the knowledge and skills needed to propel my business, Read With Carylee, to new heights. Our focus has sharpened, and our commitment to serving the community as a non-profit has never been stronger. Being a part of this first cohort has already enhanced the ways in which we operate. The mentorship and training provided have allowed us to refine our strategies, ensuring that we can effectively fulfill our mission of promoting literacy and a love for reading among children. This experience has not only equipped us with practical tools but also instilled a leadership mindset essential for long-term success. As we celebrate this milestone, I am filled with gratitude for the Northern Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce and the incredible mentors and peers who have been part of this journey. Together, we are fostering an environment where Black-owned businesses can flourish, contributing to a more inclusive and dynamic economic landscape. The Economic Evolution Accelerator is a beacon of opportunity and support. For any Black entrepreneur seeking to grow their business, this program offers a comprehensive pathway to success. I am excited to continue leveraging the insights and connections gained from this experience as we navigate the future, ready to face challenges and seize opportunities with renewed confidence and capability. #EconomicEvolutionAccelerator #BlackOwnedBusiness #BusinessGrowth #Mentorship #Leadership #BusinessDevelopment #ReadWithCarylee #NonProfit #CommunityService Northern Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce LeAnn White Michael Anthony SLVR Financial Lawrence K Davies Jr Detoya Richburg Lisa Sechrest-Ehrhardt Damion Moss Marlene Patton Erinn Roth Hello Wellness Reshaunda Wilburn https://lnkd.in/ehw8-Ky2

Key Insights from a Year-Long collaboration with SC Braga on inovation: 🔑 Successful #innovation in a club requires genuinely opening doors to external entities and leveraging the club's natural resources. Technology advances rapidly, but without openness to change from top executives to academy coaches, innovation stalls. ✨️ A club's value lies in its dedicated fan base, which engages more enthusiastically compared to average corporate clients, directly benefiting the club. 💎 A strategic partnership between a club and a startup offers mutual benefits. Clubs naturally have skilled specialists to evaluate solutions quickly, a full stadium as a testing ground, a vast potential customer base, and business networks to attract key investors and funds. 💶 According to major #vc, the #sports industry remains undervalued, evidenced by increasing US #funds #investments in Europe. 📝 Sports clubs provide an excellent platform for testing and implementing #technology, acting as a catalyst for business growth. This synergy proves profitable for both parties, making it an attractive sector at multiple levels. Want to learn more insights? Contact me.📨 Big thanks and congratulations to SC Braga , President Antonio Salvador , André Viana, Luís Rodrigues and Alexandre Mendes.

✨To all brilliant minds working in this challenge today 🚀 The biggest challenges are also great opportunities - explore and co-create! Really sorry I can not be at FOM-CIBE - Center of Innovation, Business Dev. & Entrepreneurship #InnovationDesignChallenge today, would love to work on your inspiring ideas with you all. Enjoy and have fun! #BusinessInnovation #FOMCIBE #XponentialEcosystem #SustainabilityInnovation FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management Xponential Ecosystem

ICYMI, last week USPTO hosted Proud Innovation with an incredible speaker lineup of founders from the LGBTQIA+ entrepreneur community who developed their businesses from the ground up and shared how they got their products into the hands of consumers using patents, trademarks, and licensing. Hats off to Sean Wilkerson and the team who put this truly engaging panel together. No matter where you are in your own innovation journey, I highly recommend watching the archived video of the panel discussion. #Innovation #Inventor #SmallBusiness #Startup #Entrepreneurship #IntellectualProperty #intellectualproperty #patent #trademark
