Connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with established business owners is the goal of a new collaboration between the Door County Economic Development Corporation and Do Good Door County.
The Mentors x Mentees (M2) program pairs aspiring business owners with experienced entrepreneurs, giving tomorrow's business leaders valuable advice from those who have already walked the path and want to help the next generation succeed.
Door County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Michelle Lawrie said they talk with new business owners all the time who just need a little guidance in certain areas. She said the M2 program is a great way for those entrepreneurs to receive assistance while giving experienced business owners another opportunity to connect with the community.
Lawrie said the organizations have already generated significant interest in the program, especially among experienced business owners who believe their knowledge and advice can make a positive impact.
