in their words
"I would definitely recommend this program to new entrepreneurs. The entire program was well organized, diverse and accommodating."
"The opportunity to participate in the SQ1 program has been priceless for me as an entrepreneur. The contacts I have made are excellent and I feel a sense of community. Knowing that I have intelligent and capable people I can reach out to in the future builds my confidence that I can succeed."
“Being accepted into the Square One Bootcamp program has been the greatest thing to happen to my business venture yet. It has definitely put my company on the path to success.”
CET is a fabulous resource! They worked closely with me, providing evidence-based business planning & development tools that allowed for an effective evaluation of my business goals and needs - as well as the input and encouragement that made it possible for me to begin a successful transition into a new, more productive business structure!
It [SQ1 Ignite] was one of the best learning experiences I’ve had.
Great diversity of thought and opinions.
It has been my privilege and pleasure to work with SQ1 for the past several months. The program provides unique infrastructure and guidance to very early stage entrepreneurs filling a vital need in St Louis's emerging startup ecosystem. I will do anything I can to help as long as I am able.
Entrepreneurship takes a lot of humility and perseverance but knowing where the pieces on the board are is crucial to a successful start. SQ1 can help you with that.
The CET SQ1 Ignite and Boot Camp Programs offer the St. Louis startup community an invaluable service. Early-stage startups get a great introduction to the many resources available to entrepreneurs here in St. Louis. They also receive structured training in all aspects of running a business, as well as one-on-one coaching targeted specifically to their ventures' needs. These unique, well-run CET programs really give startup ventures the best chance of succeeding in their new businesses.
Square One has provided great information to a number of topics critical to starting my business, but the greatest value of the program has been the relationships I have formed and the people I have met.
