Welcome to The Metropreneur, your online resource for all things related to small business development and entrepreneurialism in Central Ohio. Our annual event celebrating social enterprises is Aspire! Happening each fall. Our mission at The Metropreneur is two-fold. First, we will provide you with regular news and informational updates about the growing small business community in Central Ohio. That includes small business profiles, topical features, governance and policy updates, spotlights on women-owned and minority-owned businesses, how-to guides, and other types of interactive editorial features. Second, we want to play a proactive role in economic development in Central Ohio. All of our content is planned through the lens of inspiration and education. We’ve also assembled a Local Resource Database that has launched with more than 100 local resources ranging from financial assistance providers and workshops to classes and marketing resources, and more. We want The Metropreneur to be a community-driven resource. Which means that our content should be dictated by you. If there are areas you’d like to see us focus on, businesses we should be featuring, or emerging trends that need coverage, contact us and let us know! Thanks for supporting local news!
