We’re a Hudson Valley small business solutions network.
where conscious businesses connect and grow
We organize Hudson Valley business events and workshops
Starting a business can be an isolating and daunting experience. We work to remove fears and uncertainty by connecting and talking through what your needs are. Our goal is to connect fellow Hudson Valley entrepreneurs and mission-driven companies with multiple perspectives and resources.
We offer business roadmaps and accountability through our Business Accelerator.
Learn more about about Growth & Cohort Memberships. Join our waitlist for the next business accelerator. While the current cohort is underway, we offer strategy consulting calls and growth membership, so you can still participate in workshops and receive quarterly business coaching at a very low cost to you.
We offer website audits and consult on growth marketing strategy.
Go deeper and hire us to conduct your website audit, digital growth strategy, and improve your existing customers’ experience to drive repeat business. We derive our strategies from the most current technology and ethnographic research available. We are able to stay current in our approach thanks to our vetted and qualified consulting partners.
