Start Me Atlanta

Where Atlanta's small businesses get their start! Start:ME is an intensive 14 session business training program for promising local small businesses. Emory's Goizueta Business School partners with community based nonprofits to deliver the program to talented entrepreneurs who live in, work in, and/or provide valuable products and services to local Atlanta communities - Clarkston, East Lake / Kirkwood, and Southside Atlanta. Entrepreneurship is a team sport. Start:ME is delivered in partnership with Emory's Goizueta Business School, East Lake Foundation, Focused Community Strategies (FCS), Friends of Refugees, and Purpose Built Schools Atlanta. Start:ME is made possible through the generous support of the following financial supporters: Regions Bank Foundation, The Goizueta Foundation, SunTrust Foundation, and PNC. During the program, and beyond, we connect those entrepreneurs to the knowledge, networks, and capital necessary to build and grow businesses.
