A team of expert instructors from various fields understands the challenges of starting and running a small business. Classes provide guidance on fundamental business practices and how to avoid common pitfalls.

In addition to the Sierra SBDC, our returning Lead Partner, this Ignitor will be held in conjunction with the Greater Grass Valley and Nevada City Chambers of Commerce, YubaNet.com, Wicked Good Copywriting, Sierra Business Council, and the Grass Valley Downtown Association. This collaboration expands the Ignitor’s reach and resources, giving students access to a broader regional entrepreneurial support network.
