GROW (Generating Real Opportunity and Wealth) is a program for anyone looking to start, build or grow a small business in the greater Akron area. We offer programming for the beginner entrepreneur with an idea, the new-ish small business looking for some more focused help and the fully established, veteran business looking for one-on-one assistance to help their business grow.

The unique thing about GROW is it is for non-technology small businesses and entrepreneurs with a focus on minorities and women. Keep reading below for more details about each program we offer.
