Douglas County CORE is Ready to Connect, Create, Cultivate and Celebrate Entrepreneurs

As a new entrepreneurial enabler for our community, Douglas County CORE has been hard at work assessing our strengths and opportunities – with the shared understanding that together we can address the challenges and needs faced by existing or aspiring business owners. Through a series of inaugural events throughout the county, CORE has gathered input and created a blueprint of ecosystem components that influence our performance.

Also at these events, CORE has been inviting the community’s involvement to

 tackle the immediate organizational needs – in hopes of creating both a space for connections across the ecosystem and to ensure that CORE has the systems in place to successfully influence our success and reputation as a destination for innovation.

If you are inspired by the opportunity to make Douglas County home to a more robust entrepreneurial ecosystem, consider joining this effort. CORE is actively recruiting your thoughts and energy to help with several immediate-term working groups. Take a moment to review them and then let us know where your time and talents can be channeled.
