Everyday Entrepreneur Success at Northwest State Community College, OH!

NACCE member, Northwest State Community College, is investing $20,000 into the small business community across five northwest Ohio counties through its 12th annual Entrepreneurship Forum on April 30, 2026, a free event that supports aspiring entrepreneurs with funding opportunities, expert feedback, and networking. Backed by a $10,000 grant from the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) and additional contributions from local economic development offices, the program helps address barriers like limited access to startup capital while offering participants the chance to pitch ideas and compete for additional awards. The press release also highlights the program’s strong partnerships and impact, including a quote from NACCE Project Coordinator Lydia Perez-Kavanagh, who commended Northwest State’s leadership and the Everyday Entrepreneur program's continued success.
